An assortment of shells of marine bivalves and a few marine gastropods found on a beach in Wales In May 2010, a new taxonomy of the Bivalvia was published in the journal Malacologia Taxonomy of the Bivalvia (Bouchet, Rocroi, Bieler, Carter & Coan, 2010) . The 2010 taxonomy was published as Nomenclator of Bivalve Families with a Classification of Bivalve Families .[ 1] phylogenetic information including molecular analysis , anatomical analysis, shell morphology and shell microstructure, as well as bio-geographic, paleobiogeographical and stratigraphic information.
In this classification, 324 families were recognized as valid. Of those, 214 are known exclusively as fossils . The remaining 110 families occur in the recent past, with or without a fossil record.[ 1] WoRMS , the World Register of Marine Species.[ 2]
