Isorropodon
Isorropodon is a genus of small deep-sea bivalve molluscs in the family Vesicomyidae and subfamily Pliocardiinae. The genus was first described by Austrian naturalist Rudolf Sturany in 1896, and is known for its small size relative to other vesicomyids, as well as its unique biological adaptation to chemosynthetic environments.
