Hello Paul and other interested parties,
<br>
<p>I found following at page 575 in :
<p><i>Hylleberg, J. (2000). Illustrated dictionary: technical terms and
common words used in descriptions of bilvalves. Spec. Publ. Phuket Mar.</i>
<br><i>Biol. Cent. 21(3): 551-581</i>
<p><b>resilial buttress</b>: the chondrophore may be supported by a calcareous
ridge extending from the umbonal cavity
<p><b>resilifer</b>: smaller hollowed out depression in the hinge-plate;
when larger and spoon-shaped it is termed chondrophore
<p><b>resiliophore</b>: synonymous with resilifer (see chondrophore)
<p><b>chondrophore</b>: hollowed out and projecting shelly part on the
hinge-line. The elastic material of the resilifer is set in the chondrophore.
<br>Presence of a large resilifer or a small chondrophore makes a distinction
between these two terms difficult.
<p>Hope this explains the lemma in Keen you were reading. Paul, if you
would like to obtain this whole dictionary (30 pp., very nicely B/W illustrated!!),
I will be most happy to fax it to you, if not available in the USA.
<p>Regards,
<p>Jan
