Editing Oyster (section)

===Other types===

A number of bivalve molluscs (other than true oysters and pearl oysters) also have common names that include the word "oyster", usually because they either taste like or look somewhat like true oysters, or because they yield noticeable pearls. Examples include:
* [[Thorny oyster]]s in the genus ''Spondylus''
* Pilgrim oyster, another term for a [[scallop]], in reference to the scallop shell of St. James
* [[Saddle oyster]]s, members of the [[Anomiidae]] family also known as jingle shells
* [[Dimyidae|Dimydarian oysters]], members of the family Dimyidae
* [[Windowpane oyster]]s
