(also rudistid)
noun ˈruːdɪstˈrudɪst

    Example sentencesExamples
    • Aptian reefs were typically composed of rudists.
    • This member contains abundant and diverse mid-Cretaceous shallow-marine invertebrates, including reef corals and rudist bivalves.

    • The limestone clasts contain rudist fragments and larger foraminifera that indicate erosion from the Campur Formation.
    • The seas were inhabited by large ammonoids like Olcostephanus, bivalves like Bruchia, and (in selected areas) some of the early rudist reefs.
    • Many rudist species were defined on specimens collected from the El Abra Formation in Mexico, a widespread carbonate platform.
    • Most of the characteristic life forms of the Cretaceous had not yet evolved or were insignificant, including angiosperms, mosasaurs, therian mammals, hadrosaurs, rudists, calcareous plankton and planktonic foraminifera.
    • Most of the rudist species listed by these authors are typical late Albian taxa, but their purported occurrences here require additional study and supportive documentation.
    • An extinct group of Mesozoic bivalves, the rudistids, became closely adapted to a cemented mode of life: one valve became conical while the other formed a lid.

    • These two species are not as yet known to be associated with rudists or corals, although a few specimens of both rudists and corals have been recovered from other localities of Turonian age in the Santa Ana Mountains.

Origin
