Ostrea is a genus of edible oysters, marine bivalve mollusks in the family Ostreidae, the oysters. This is an ancient genus, as evidenced by the fossil record.[1]
At least one species within this genus, Ostrea lurida, has been recovered in archaeological excavations along the Central California coast of the Pacific Ocean, demonstrating it was a marine taxon exploited by the Native American Chumash people as a food source.[2]
