Belongs within: Pectinidae.
Chlamys is a genus of scallops that first appeared in the Triassic. Members of the genus generally live in fissures attached to the substrate by a byssus. In members of the type subgenus, the cardinal teeth of the hinge are weak or nearly obsolete. The Late Cretaceous subgenus Lyriochlamys is characterised by an interlocking rib pattern and small gibbous shell (Stilwell 1998).
