The '''Tellinidae''' are a family of marine [[bivalve]] [[molluscs]] of the order [[Cardiida]]. Commonly known as '''tellins''' or '''tellens''', they live fairly deep in soft sediments in shallow seas and respire using long siphons that reach up to the surface of the sediment.<ref name="WoRMS">Bouchet, P.

'''Tellinidae''' is a family of [[Bivalve|bivalve]] [[mollusc]]s of the order [[Veneroida]].


==Characteristics==
The shells are ovate or elongated, more or less flexed or rostrate at the posterior end, and with an external ligament. There are two cardinal teeth in each valve, tending to be [[wiktionary:bifid|bifid]], and lateral teeth are present in at least one valve.
Tellinids have rounded or oval, elongated shells, much flattened. The two valves are connected by a large external ligament. The two separate siphons are exceptionally long, sometimes several times the length of the shell. These siphons have a characteristic cruciform muscle at their base.<ref>Barrett, J. H. and C. M.

The Tellinidae are a family of marine bivalve molluscs of the order Cardiida. Commonly known as tellins or tellens, they live fairly deep in soft sediments in shallow seas and respire using long siphons that reach up to the surface of the sediment.[1]

Characteristics

[edit]

Tellinids have rounded or oval, elongated shells, much flattened. The two valves are connected by a large external ligament. The two separate siphons are exceptionally long, sometimes several times the length of the shell. These siphons have a characteristic cruciform muscle at their base.[2]
