Bivalves - British Geological Survey
WebBivalves, which belong to the phylum Mollusca and the class Bivalvia, have two hard, usually bowl-shaped, shells (called valves) enclosing the soft body. The valves are the parts usually found as fossils, but decay of the elastic hinge tissue that joins them means that they are rarely preserved together.

Clams, mussels, pipis and oysters - Class Bivalvia
WebThis group includes oysters, mussels, pipis, cockles, scallops and clams. The name bivalve means 'two valves'. The soft-bodied animals live inside the shell valves, which are joined together by a toothed hinge and a flexible ligament. When the animal inside dies, the ligament usually breaks and the shells are found washed up on the beach.

WebI Bivalvia (Ned.: tweekleppigen) is een orde uit de stam der raollusca (weekdieren). Het gaat hier om weekdieren die zijdelings zijn afgeplat, omgeven zijn door twee schelpkleppen, en aquatischh zijn, dwz. dat ze alleen maar in water kunnen leven. Ze zijn vaak tweezijdig symmetrisch van vorm, waarbij het symmetrievlak tussen de beide kleppen ...
