Abstract

Exceptionally well preserved larval bivalve shells have been isolated from Late Cretaceous (Maestrichtian) sediments. Specimens were readily identified to familial level on the basis of gross morphology and hinge structures. Reconstruction of fossil larval ontogeny, linked with the distribution of adult stages, will provide an important interpretative tool in molluskan phylogenetic and paleoecologic studies.
