Ostrea is a genus of edible oysters , marine bivalve mollusks in the family Ostreidae , the oysters.
Fossil valves of Ostrea forskali from Pliocene of Italy
Although molecular studies suggest that Ostrea first appeared around the Eocene and originated no earlier than the Cretaceous , paleontologists have historically applied the genus to almost all fossil oysters from the Permian onward, many of which are only superficially similar to extant Ostrea .[ 1] As a result, the genus Ostrea includes about 150 extinct species.[ 2] [ 3]
At least one species within this genus, Ostrea lurida , has been recovered in archaeological excavations along the Central California coast of the Pacific Ocean , demonstrating it was a marine taxon exploited by the Native American Chumash people as a food source.[ 4]
