Abstract
⺠We first studied the ligament structure of Solen grandis. ⺠We found a unique protein fibrous layer in this ligament. ⺠Aragonite fibers in the ligament are zigzag in form. ⺠We proposed a new three-layered structural model of bivalve ligament. ⺠This model is ubiquitous in Solenidae ligaments, which may inspire in bivalve classifications.
