OBS

Dès le Dévonien, (...) [certains Lamellibranches ont] une charnière actinodonte typique (...); à l'époque secondaire, les dents se recourbent vers le crochet, se fragmentent (...); chez (...) [certains Lamellibranches] la disposition est tout à fait cténodonte (...) mais on voit que c'est un caractère secondairement acquis, c'est pourquoi on peut les nommer des "pseudo-cténodontes".
