According to Ilmari Valovirta, this mussel belongs to the family
Cardiidae, and the specific species is presumably Cerastoderma glaucum (Engl.
There is a higher range of shellfish taxa in Phase 1, and limpets (Acmaeidae & Patellidae) and the bivalves
Cardiidae, Paphies striata and Soletellina tumens are restricted to this phase.
Most of the marine species in this new freshwater mass became extinct, but some adapted to life in the lower salinity, among them mollusks like the zebra mussels (family Dreissenidae) and the cockles, or heart clams (family
Cardiidae).
Both Dinocardium robustum and Laevicardium mortoni are in the family
Cardiidae. Sizes for these specimens ranged from D-stage to postlarval (88-381 [micro]m) based on the limited information available on some of the samples (Figs.

Several species of marine bivalves in the family
Cardiidae harbor symbiotic dinoflagellates that belong to the genus Symbiodinium.
Giant clams (
Cardiidae: Tridacnidae) are highly emblematic, heavily targeted coral reef species throughout their Indo-Pacific distribution, from East Africa and the Red Sea to the central Pacific Ocean (bin Othman et al.

Less well known clams harboring zooxanthellae belong to the genera Corculum (Kawaguti, 1950) and Fragum (Kawaguti, 1983a; Ohno et al., 1995) in the family
Cardiidae. No bivalve in any other family has been reported to have a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae.
