Pteri
Pteri is a genus of marine bivalve mollusks, commonly known as wing oysters. They are characterized by their unique, fan-shaped shells that resemble wings, which can be found in various colors and patterns. These oysters are typically found in warm, shallow waters and are often attached to rocks or other surfaces.
Pteri species are important for their ecological role in marine environments, as they help filter water and provide habitat for other organisms. Some species within this genus are also harvested for their shells, which are used in jewelry and decorative items, contributing to local economies.
