The shell of an oyster or clam is commonly referred to as a "valve." Bivalve mollusks, which include oysters and clams, have two hinged shells (or valves) that protect their soft bodies. These shells are composed primarily of calcium carbonate and serve to provide structural support and protection from predators.
