During the Late Cretaceous radiolitid rudist bivalves were abundant calcifiers on Tethyan shallow-water carbonate platforms. Previous studies have demonstrated various low to high-energetic subtidal environments in which vertically growing rudist bivalves lived. However, the precise mode of colonisation in moderate to higher energetic environments remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to elucidate...
Previous taxonomic studies have shown that polyconitid rudists have a characteristic arrangement of the myocardinal system with an ectomyophoral cavity on the posterior side of the left valve. The specific arrangement of the myophores and associated cavities defines the different genera. However, there has been little research on the three-dimensional spatial distribution and size of the internal...

During the Cretaceous, rudist bivalves were among the most important benthic carbonate producers on tropical to sub‐tropical carbonate platforms. Yet questions concerning the biology of rudist...
