Abstract/Description: | Miocene. The very first bivalves that we find in the fossil record are tiny, but fully-formed bivalves, complete with two shells, a hinge, a ligament, and adductor muscle scars. Marine bivalve communities are relatively stable. Many species, from as early as the Miocene Epoch survive to the present. |
