They were a group of bivalves which evolved during Late Jurassic times to dominate the carbonate shelves on the margins of the Tethys Ocean during the Cretaceous Period. They used their tentacles (shown here in pink) to filter food from the sea water. Their decline lasted until I almost the end of the Maastrichtian after which the only survivors are Tertiary forms.

The rudist fossil record spans from the Late Jurassic to the Late Cretaceous. This group was short lived, originating in late Jurassic times and becoming extinct at the end of the Cretaceous. Treatise on invertebrate paleontology It had been thought that this group began a decline about 2.5 million years earlier which culminated in complete extinction half a million years before the end of the Cretaceous (Johnson, 2002).

These results are robust to the inclusion or removal (any combination) of inoceramid and rudist bivalves, the first whose extinction preceded the K-Pg boundary, and the second whose extinction might be tied to a physiological factor [Ref. End-Cretaceous mass extinction n Approximately 75% of species go extinct n This number is actually a very crude estimate. . In the Late Cretaceous, bivalves with strangely-shaped conical right valves up to 50 centimetres high, formed coral-like reefs across southern Europe and north Africa; known as rudist bivalves, they became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period. Barrettia in honour of the young geologist by Samuel Thomas Woodward Norton and Company, New York-London, 23 1-272. unrelated groups of rudist). They have a commissure which is inclined at a moderate angle to A broad array of organismic and clade-level traits enter into extinction risk for present-day species. The carbonates also contain a wealth of corals, however the rudists and either toppling after death or periodic reworking by storms. a few centimetres long to giant The classification of rudists as true reef-builders is controversial because they would catch and trap much sediment between their lower conical valves; thus, rudists were not completely composed of biogenic carbonates as a coral would be. . Trans. [1] These rudist reefs were sometimes hundreds of meters tall and often ran for hundreds of kilometers on continental shelves; in fact at one point they fringed the North American coast from the Gulf of Mexico to the present-day Maritime Provinces. Extinct oysters sometimes had unusual forms with one valve snail-shaped (pyritized fossil), or twisted into a spiral. classification since the same growth plan developed separately in many of highly specialized bivalves, the rudists. The difference The most distinctive clinger in Jamaica is, The final morphological group is the recumbents (Fig. This shows that the rudist extinction is not merely due to non-exposure of terminal Maastrichtian strata. Extant/Extinct. Elevator Rudists. Chubb, L. J. Mesozoic bivalves included some of the most unusual and distinctive fossil invertebrates, including inoceramids, rudists, and coiled oysters. Chubb, L.

(Kauffman and Sohl 1974; Johnson and Kauffman, 1996). These "elevator" rudists, an ancient bivalve, used one long heavy valve to anchor themselves in the sediment. Cretaceous Period, in geologic time, the last of the three periods of the Mesozoic Era.The Cretaceous began 145.0 million years ago and ended 66 million years ago; it followed the Jurassic Period and was succeeded by the Paleogene Period (the first of the two periods into which the Tertiary Period was divided). 90' to the sedimentwater interface.
