Tellinacea | The Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireland

The Tellins are thin, flattened and often colourful shells. They generally have one or two cardinal teeth in each valve and characteristically possess cruciform muscle scars. They live buried in various types of sediment using long siphons to grope for organic matter on which they feed.
