"Originally: of, relating to, or resembling bivalve molluscs of a type represented by the nut shell Nucula. In later use: spec. of, relating to, or designating protobranch bivalve molluscs of the order Nuculoida, which includes mainly deposit-feeding species attested in the fossil record from the Ordovician period onwards, and often regarded as among the most primitive extant bivalves."
