Megalodontidae Morris & Lycett, 1853 |
Megalodontidae is an extinct family of bivalve Molluscs that reportedly lived from the Devonian to the Jurassic Period.
A family of insects has also been called "Megalodontidae", containing the sawfly genus Megalodontes. In order to remove the homonymy, that family has been renamed Megalodontesidae.
