Inoceramus (Endocostea)

Bivalvia - Myalinida - Inoceramidae

Taxonomy
Endocostea was named by Whitfield (1877) [Sepkoski's age data: K Sant-u K Maes-u].

It was reranked as Inoceramus (Endocostea) by Anderson (1958), Kennedy et al. (1973) and Elder (1991).

It was assigned to Inoceramidae by Vokes (1980); to Inoceramus by Anderson (1958), Kennedy et al. (1973) and Elder (1991); and to Pterioida by Sepkoski (2002).
