Limatula, the file shells or file clams, is a genus of marine bivalve molluscs in the family Limidae.
Solemyidae is a family of saltwater clams, marine protobranch bivalve mollusks in the order Solemyida.
Limopsidae is a family of bivalves, related to the ark clams and bittersweets. This family contains about thirty species in seven genera.
Malletiidae is a family of bivalves in the order Nuculanida.
Galeommatidae is a family of small and very small saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the order Galeommatida.
Lasaeidae is a family of very small saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the order Galeommatida. These bivalves are sometimes called "kelly clams", because one of the genera in this family is Kellia.
Crassatellidae is a family of small saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs of the order Carditida.
Lyonsiidae is a family of small saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the order Anomalodesmata.
Verticordiidae is a family of benthic marine bivalves in the superorder Anomalodesmata. These clams range from 2 - 200 millimeters in length and are mainly found in coastal waters surrounding Australia and the Americas, though a few species within this family such as Haliris mediopacifica are found in the middle of the ocean. Verticordiidae is known for being a family of septibranchs, or predatory bivalves, rather than filter feeders. Clams dig vertical burrows in substrate and use papillae around the edges of their inhalant siphons to detect microscopic prey. Some clams in this family, specifically in the genus Trigonulina, have distinct extended circular formations on their shells.
Spisula is a genus of medium-sized to large marine bivalve mollusks or clams in the subfamily Mactrinae of the family Mactridae, commonly known as surf clams or trough shells.
Cyclostrema is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Liotiidae.

Aclis is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eulimidae.
Wallerconcha sarae is an extinct species of saltwater clam, a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Thyasiridae. The species was discovered in 2014 by Paul Valentich-Scott of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and three scientists from the United States Geological Survey, Charles L. Powell, Brian D. Edwards and Thomas D. Lorenson by Arctic Ocean, whilst mapping the sea floor. It was discovered by accident inside a sediment core sample extracted more than 1.5 miles (2.5 km) below the surface of the ocean off the coast of northern Alaska, US, in 2010.
