Molecular phylogenetics seems to be the only method capable of providing some invariant anchor points to oyster systematics which necessarily needs to be interwoven with morphological data from both living and fossil taxa. Hence, the starting point for the current classification scheme is based on the most comprehensive molecular analyses currently available and complemented by the paleontological approach of Carter

Coiling—Early postlarval growth in oysters is almost intrinsically anterior-directed helicoidal thus producing an opisthogyrate, or at least opisthocline umbo. This appears to be due to a delayed offset of the larval coiling tendency (

But this potentially important feature is rarely preserved because the juvenile umbo becomes easily eroded. Generally speaking, later growth phases are mostly characterized by gradual changes in the degree of coiling rather than by radical re-orientation. Gradual changes may also be diagnostic, as discussed here for various species of
