Rudists are a group of extinct marine heterodont bivalves that were box, tube or ring shaped. They arose during the Late Jurassic and evolved to become very diverse during the Cretaceous time period. Due to the condition of tropical waters during that time, these organisms thrived and were major reef builders in the Tethys Ocean, until their complete extinction
