reconstructioida
Reconstructioida is a defunct order of marine invertebrates belonging to the phylum Mollusca. This classification was established in the late 19th century and was largely based on morphological characteristics observed in fossil specimens. Organisms placed within Reconstructioida were typically bivalve mollusks, distinguished by their distinctive shell shapes and internal structures. They are thought to have inhabited ancient seafloors, likely as suspension feeders.
The order Reconstructioida was characterized by a generally elongated and somewhat asymmetrical shell, often with pronounced
