''Anodontia philippiana'', or the chalky buttercup, is a species of bivalve mollusc in the family Lucinidae. It can be found burrowing in soft substrate in shallow waters along the Atlantic coast of North America, its range extending from North Carolina in the United States to the West Indies and Bermuda.〔Abbott, R.T.; Morris, P.A. ''A Field Guide to Shells: Atlantic and Gulf Coasts and the West Indies.'' New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1995. 51.〕 ==Description== The chalky buttercup grows to a maximum length of . Both the exterior and interior are white. It is very similar in appearance to the closely related buttercup lucine (''Anodontia alba'') which occupies the same range as it in the Caribbean area. The chalky buttercup can be distinguished by the fact that the interior of the valves are white rather than yellow and that the scars formed by the anterior adductor muscles slope at an angle of 30° to the pallial line.
