Pelecyora is an extinct genus of bivalve mollusc whose Middle Cretaceous fossils are essential for reconstructing ancient marine ecosystems. It is characterised by its oval, robust shell, with concentric ornamentation that reveals a detailed fossilisation process through mineralisation. It is a highly prized specimen among palaeontological collectors due to its excellent state of preservation and its importance as a biostratigraphic indicator of the Mesozoic era.
