Anomia is a genus of saltwater clams, marine bivalve mollusks in the family Anomiidae. They are commonly known as jingle shells because when a handful of them are shaken they make a jingling sound,^[2] though some are also known as saddle oysters.^[3]

This genus first appeared in the Permian period of China, Italy, and Pakistan.^[4] Anomia species are common in both tropical and temperate oceans and live primarily attached to rock or other shells via a calcified byssus that extends through the lower valve.^[1] Anomia shells tend to take on the surface shape of what they are attached to; thus if an Anomia is attached to a scallop shell, the shell of the Anomia will also show ribbing.^[1] The species A. colombiana has been found in the La Frontera Formation of Boyacá, Cundinamarca and Huila of Colombia.^[5]

Reassigned species[edit]

As Anomia was erected very early in paleontology, several species have been reassigned; most of them are now recognized as brachiopods.^[7]^[8]

A. angulata = Yanishewskiella angulata, brachiopod
A. biloba = Dicoelosia biloba, brachiopod
A. bilocularis = Conchidium biloculare, brachiopod
A. caputserpentis Linné, 1758 = undetermined terebratulid brachiopod
A. caputserpentis Linné, 1767 = Terebratulina caputserpentis, brachiopod
A. craniolaris = Crania craniolaris, brachiopod
A. crispa = Delthyris elegans, brachiopod
A. detruncata = Megathyris detruncata, brachiopod
A. furcata = Monia zelandica
A. nobilis = Monia nobilis
A. pectinata = Rhynchora pectinata, brachiopod
A. placenta = Placuna placenta
A. psittacea = Hemithiris psittacea, brachiopod
A. reticularis = Atrypa reticularis, brachiopod
A. retusa Linné, 1758 = Terebratulina caputserpentis, brachiopod
A. rubra = Kraussina rubra, brachiopod
A. sella = Placuna quadrangula
A. squamula = Heteranomia squamula
A. terebratula = Terebratula terebratula, brachiopod
A. vitrea = Gryphus vitreus, brachiopod
