They are adapted to a sedentary mode of life. Rudists are a group of extinct box-, tube- or ring-shaped marine heterodont bivalves belonging to the order Hippuritida that arose during the Late Jurassic and became so diverse during the Cretaceous that they were major reef-building organisms in the Tethys Ocean, until their complete extinction at the close of the Cretaceous. deposits, the group is poorly represented in most textbooks on palaeontology.

The rudists are, according to different systematic schemes, placed in the orders Hippuritida (Hippuritoida) or Rudistes (sometimes Rudista). unrelated groups of rudist). clingers and recumbents. 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. 1956c.

Clingers largely occur as single specimens Observations on the genus Barrettia Woodward, with descriptions of interface. These "elevator" rudists, an ancient bivalve, used one long heavy valve to anchor themselves in the sediment. 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).

Today, at least 10,000 bivalve species live in freshwater lakes and streams, in estuaries and bays, and in shallow found a large species in the northern Blue Mountains which he recognised From these data it can be clearly seen that the ranges of many of the established biostratigraphic markers are in error and that the stage boundaries, as defined by the belemnite and planktonic foraminiferal stratigraphies, are offset. On some Cretaceous rocks in the south-eastern portion When the pattern of rudist diversity is plotted against this time scale it can be seen that, at a specific level, the rudists were at their most diverse at the Campanian/Maastrichtian boundary.

Bieler, Carter & Coan in 2010 also named the non-Hippuritid families Megalodontoidea and Chamoidea, of Megalodontida and Venerida respectively, as "Rudists", but this classification was not monophyletic.[4].

Strontium isotope ratios (87 Sr/ 86 Sr) in pristine low-Mg calcite of shells of rudist bivalves from the Titanosarcolites limestones exposed in the Central, Maldon, and Marchmont inliers of Jamaica indicate that species-rich rudist-coral associations persisted into the latest Maastrichtian (66-65 Ma).This finding contradicts the currently accepted hypothesis of stepwise extinction of rudist . valve.

Using this as a standard graph, Tethyan rudist samples have been dated by a comparison of the Sr isotope ratio. Bulletins of American Museum of Natural History, 9, 185-196. However, rudists were one of the most important constituents of reefs during the Cretaceous Period. [5] During the Cretaceous, rudist reefs were so successful that they may have driven scleractinian corals out of many tropical environments, including shelves that are today the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) extinction event (also known as the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) extinction) was a sudden mass extinction of three-quarters of the plant and animal species on Earth, approximately 66 million years ago. 2000 ; Wignall et al., 2005 ).
