A Synoptical Classification of the Bivalvia (Mollusca)

The following classification summarizes the suprageneric taxono-my of the Bivalvia for the upcoming revision of the Bivalvia volumes of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part N. The development of this classification began with Carter (1990a), Campbell, Hoeks-tra, and Carter (1995, 1998), Campbell (2000, 2003), and Carter, Campbell, and Campbell (2000, 2006), who, with assistance from the United States National Science Foundation, conducted large-scale morphological phylogenetic analyses of mostly Paleozoic bivalves, as well as molecular phylogenetic analyses of living bivalves. Dur-ing the past several years, their initial phylogenetic framework has been revised and greatly expanded through collaboration with many students of bivalve biology and paleontology, many of whom are coauthors. During this process, all available sources of phylogenetic information, including molecular, anatomical, shell morphological, shell microstructural, bio- and paleobiogeographic as well as strati-graphic, have been integrated into the classification. The more recent sources of phylogenetic information include, but are not limited to, Carter (1990a), Malchus (1990), J. Schneider (1995, 1998a, 1998b, 2002), T. Waller (1998), Hautmann (1999, 2001a, 2001b), Giribet and Wheeler (2002), Giribet and Distel (2003), Dreyer, Steiner, and Harper (2003), Matsumoto (2003), Harper, Dreyer, and Steiner (2006), Kappner and Bieler (2006), Mikkelsen and others (2006), Neulinger and others (2006), Taylor and Glover (2006), Kříž (2007), B. Morton (2007), Taylor, Williams, and Glover (2007), Taylor and others (2007), Giribet (2008), and Kirkendale (2009). This work has also benefited from the nomenclator of bivalve families by Bouchet and Rocroi (2010) and its accompanying classification by Bieler, Carter, and Coan (2010).This classification strives to indicate the most likely phylogenetic position for each taxon. Uncertainty is indicated by a question mark before the name of the taxon. Many of the higher taxa continue to undergo major taxonomic revision. This is especially true for the superfamilies Sphaerioidea and Veneroidea, and the orders Pectinida and Unionida. Because of this state of flux, some parts of the clas-sification represent a compromise between opposing points of view. Placement of the Trigonioidoidea is especially problematic. This Mesozoic superfamily has traditionally been placed in the order Unionida, as a possible derivative of the superfamily Unionoidea (see Cox, 1952; Sha, 1992, 1993; Gu, 1998; Guo, 1998; Bieler, Carter, & Coan, 2010). However, Chen Jin-hua (2009) summarized evi-dence that Trigonioidoidea was derived instead from the superfamily Trigonioidea. Arguments for these alternatives appear equally strong, so we presently list the Trigonioidoidea, with question, under both the Trigoniida and Unionida, with the contents of the superfamily indicated under the Trigoniida.Fil: Carter, Joseph G..

Occurence of the genus Disiefanella Parona (Rudist, Bivalvia) in the Cenomanian beds of Western Turkey

Two known species (Distefanella bassanii PARONA and Distefanella cf montagnei SLISKOVIC) and also a new species (Distefanella tavassiana n. sp. ) of the genus Distefanella PARONA are first determined from the marbles of the Menderes metamorphic massif, around Tavas-westem Turkey. The specimens of the genus are found together with the rudists with palleal canals indicating clearly middle-late Cenomanian age. On the biogeographical point of view, the presence of the genus in the Cenomanian beds of Turkey, is a very important data showing a wide geographic and stratigraphie distribution of the genus in the Mediterranean province.Le genre Distefanella Parona (Rudiste, Bivalvia) dans le Cénomanien de la Turquie occidentale. Deux espèces connues (Distefanella bassanii PARONA et Distefanella cf. montagnei SLISKOVIC) ainsi qu'une nouvelle espèce (Distefanella tavassiana n. sp.) de Distefanella PARONA, sont déterminées pour la première fois dans les marbres du massif métamorphique du Menderes, dans les environs de Tavas (Turquie occidentale). Les exemplaires du genre sont trouvés avec des rudistes à canaux indiquant clairement un âge cénomanien (moyen-supérieur). Du point de vue biogéographique, la présence du genre dans le Cénomanien de Turquie, est une importante donnée attestant la vaste distribution géographique et stratigraphique de ce genre dans la Province méditerranéenne.Özer Sacit.

Description de quelques Rudistes à canaux dans le Cénomanien de Turquie

Description of some cenomanian Rudists with palleal canals of Turkey. For the first time in Turkey, a paléontologie study of the Cenomanian rudist species (Neocaprina gigantea, Caprina schiosensis, Caprina cf. carinata, Ichthyosarcolites bicarinatus) from the limestones of the Western Taurids is presented. This association shows a resemblance with the one that is described in the Cenomanian of the Apulian Province.On présente pour la première fois en Turquie une étude paléon-tologique des espèces de Rudistes à canaux (Neocaprina gigantea, Caprina schiosensis, Caprina cf. carinata, Ichthyosarcolites bicarinatus) d'âge cénomanien dans les calcaires des Taurides occidentales. Cette association montre la ressemblance avec celle décrite dans le Cénomanien de la province apulienne.Özer Sacit. Description de quelques Rudistes à canaux dans le Cénomanien de Turquie.
