Gryphaeidae
The Gryphaeidae, common name the foam oysters or honeycomb oysters, are a family of marine bivalve mollusks, and are a kind of true oyster. This family of bivalves is very well represented in the fossil record, however the number of living species is very few. All species have shells cemented to a substrate. Shells are considered brittle, inequivalve, with the left, lower (cemented) valve convex and the right (upper, non-cemented) valve flat or slightly concave. ==Subfamilies== Genera and species within this family are divided into three subfamilies, Exogyrinae, Gryphaeinae and Pycnodonteinae. Both Exogyrinae and Gryphaeinae are completely extinct. Only four genera ''Hyotissa'', ''Parahyotissa'', ''Pycnodonte'' and ''Neopycnodonte'' in the subfamily Pycnodonteinae have extant species.〔(The Paleobiology Database Gryphaeidae entry ) accessed on 6 February, 2011〕
