Pulvinitidae
Pulvinitidae is a family of saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the order Pteriida. These bivalves are related to the scallops and oysters.

Sixty years later, live specimens were finally discovered on the wing of a wrecked airplane at a depth of over 400 meters. Genera and species.
