Description

Pectinidae Rafinesque, 1815

Pectinidae Rafinesque, 1815 [emend. Waller, 1978]; formerly attributed to Wilkes (1810), but that work is not consistently binominal (Waller & Stanley 2005: 38; Dijkstra & Marshall 2008: 2; Bouchet & Rocroi, 2010: 65).

Diagnostic characters. Byssate, cemented, or free-living Pectinoidea with outer prismatic calcite layer on right valve limited to early dissoconch stage; some taxa with crossedlamellar aragonite inside pallial line; with an aragonitic myostracum; byssal notch with ctenolium, at least in early growth stages; resilium single, triangular.
