Anadara is a genus of saltwater bivalves, ark clams, in the family Arcidae. It is also called Scapharca.[1]
This genus is known in the fossil record from the Cretaceous period to the Quaternary period (age range: 140.2 to 0.0 million years ago). These fossils have been found all over the world. [2]
