nihieiicanJMllseum PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY CENTRAL PARK WEST AT 79TH STREET, NEW YORK 24, N.Y. NUMBER 2 206 JANUARY 29, I 965 Classification of the Bivalvia BY NORMAN D. NEWELL' INTRODUCTION The Bivalvia are wholly aquatic benthos that have undergone secondary degeneration from the condition of the ancestral mollusk (possibly, but not certainly, a monoplacophoran-like animal; Yonge, 1953, 1960; Vokes, 1954; Horny, 1960) through the loss of the head and the adoption of a passive mode of life in which feeding is accomplished by the filtering of water or sifting of sediment for particulate organic matter. These adapta- tions have limited the evolutionary potential severely, and most structural changes have followed variations on rather simple themes. The most evi- dent adaptations are involved in the articulation of the valves, defense, anchorage, burrowing, and efficiency in feeding. Habitat preferences are correlated with the availability of food and with chemistry, temperature, agitation and depth of water, and with firmness of the bottom on, or within, which they live. The morphological clues to genetic affinity are few. Consequently, parallel trends are rife, and it is difficult to arrange the class taxonomically in a consistent and logical way that takes known history into account. The problem of classifying the bivalves is further complicated by the fact that critical characters sought in fossil representatives commonly are concealed by rock matrix or are obliterated by the crystallization or disso- lution of the unstable skeletal aragonite.

(Bivalvia, Hippuritida), a new canaliculate 11 rudist from the Cenomanian of Slovenia: 12 Abstract 13 Ichthyosarcolites was amongst the first rudist genera to be described. Nineteen species 14 have been assigned to this genus since its introduction in 1812, all from shallow-marine 15 tropical carbonates of Albian and Cenomanian age (mid-Cretaceous). Almost all 16 nominal species suffer from vague original descriptions, and some forms were 17 inaccurately assigned to the genus. Several species were defined on the basis of the 18 number of flanges along the shell, such as Ichthyosarcolites rotundus , I. monocarinatus , 19 I. triangularis , I. bicarinatus , I. tricarinatus , I.MANUSCRIPT alatus and I. polycarinatus . An analysis 20 of the relative position of the flanges on the shell by hierarchical clustering helps with 21 taxon definition. Two species with a single flange are here recognised, one with a dorsal 22 flange ( I. monocarinatus ), the other with a ventral one (I. triangularis ). There is no 23 consistency in flange distribution on the shells whatever their number is, i.e., two or 24 more, and homology of individual flanges cannot be demonstrated. -

A key mission of this facility is to provide a research and learning experience in the Chihuahuan Desert. We hope that this manual will assist you in planning your research and learning activities. You will probably be given a short lecture by the station Director upon entering the station. Please pay attention as IMRS is not without potential hazards and some long-term research projects are underway that could be disturbed if one is careless. Indio Mountains Research Station came into being as a result of the generosity of a benefactor and the far-sighted vision of former UTEP President Haskell Monroe.

Convergent and Parallel Evolutionary Traits in Early Cretaceous Rudist Bivalves (Hippuritidina)
International Journal of Paleobiology & Paleontology ISSN: 2642-1283 MEDWIN PUBLISHERS Committed to Create Value for Researchers Convergent and Parallel Evolutionary Traits in Early Cretaceous Rudist Bivalves (Hippuritidina) Masse JP* and Fenerci Masse M Review Article Aix-Marseille University, France Volume 4 Issue 1 Received Date: December 07, 2020 *Corresponding author: Jean Pierre Masse, Aix-Marseille University, Place Victor Hugo. Published Date: January 12, 2021 13331 Marseille Cedex 03, France, Email: [email protected] Abstract Early Cretaceous Hippuritida clades, requieniide (family Requieniidae) and hippuritide (families Radiolitidae, Polyconitidae, Caprinidae, “Caprinulidae” and Caprinuloideidae), show distinctive myophoral arrangements and shell structures. Nevertheless they share some characters, such as the transverse shell thickening of the myophores of the attached valve which are convergent traits in Lovetchenia (Requieniidae) and Homopleura (Monopleuridae). The bent posterior myophore of the right valve of Pseudotoucasia (Requieniidae) closely resemble the posterior myophore of the left valve of Horiopleura and Polyconites (Polyconitidae). The shell cellular structure is one of the key attributes of the family Radiolitidae (e.g. Eoradiolites) but this structure is also present in some advanced Requieniidae (“Toucasia-Apricardia “group). Canaliculate shell structures are convergent evolutionary traits which are common in the Caprinidae and Caprinuloideidae and also exist in parallel evolution: expansion of canals into the entire shell and increasing complexity of canal architecture. Convergent taxa the Polyconitidae and “Caprinulidae”. In most of the foregoing canaliculated groups, two trends are well expressed, reflecting took some advantages by using former innovations. An Albian peak of convergence coincided with the emergence of new clades, which suggests a reset following the mid-Aptian extinction event. -
