Shell anatomy
All members of this superfamily have a triangular resilium with a nonmineralized medial core that functions below the hinge line.{{cite journal|doi=10.1111/j.1096-3642.2006.00258.x|title=Phylogeny of families in the Pectinoidea (Mollusca: Bivalvia): importance of the fossil record|journal=Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society|date=2006|volume=148|issue=3|pages=313–342|first=THOMAS R.|last=WALLER|doi-access=free}}
