Veneroida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (142 words)
They are generally thick-valved, equal valved and isomyarian (that is, their adductor muscles are of equal size).
The name means "perfected teeth", referring to the three teeth characteristic of the subclass Heterodonta to which this order belongs.
However they tend to be filter feeders, feeding through paired siphons, with a characteristic folded gill structure adapted to that way of life.
