Extinct species

Extinct species within this genus include:[4]
- † Panopea abrupta (Conrad, 1849) (extinct Miocene fossil)[5]
- † Panopea depressa Martin 1859
- † Panopea dockensis Olsson and Petit 1964[6]
- † Panopea elongata Conrad 1835
- † Panopea gastaldii Michelotti 1861
- † Panopea gurgitis Brongniart, 1822
- † Panopea intermedia Sowerby 1814

The fossil record of the genus dates back to the Cretaceous (and maybe the Triassic) (age range: 242.0 to 0.012 million years ago). These fossils have been found all over the world.
gollark: A likely story.
gollark: He didn't deny it so he must be. I KNEW IT.
gollark: Are you secretly a member of the Organization of Macroeconomic Safety Instructors?
gollark: Why are you OMSIMattHowell instead of just MattHowell?
gollark: While you *can* queue fake key/char events and thus type things, you don't know what you should type because you can't programmatically see the number. Galaxtone found an exploit where you could make it produce a fixed/known number, which let you automatically type out everything, but I fixed that.
