    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. An den Klappen des libero-hemisessilen SandliegersCardium edule L. entstehen zu Lebzeiten auffallende Abschliffe, die sich funktionsmorphologisch begründen und primäre Bau- und Härteunterschiede in den aragonitischen Schalen erkennen lassen. Die Abschliffe hängen mit typischen, häufig wiederholten Bewegungs- und Verhaltensweisen der Muschel im Sediment und an dessen Oberfläche zusammen, die am Meer und in einem Seewasserbecken beobachtet wurden. 2. Damit wird ein Modellfall zur Rekonstruktion solcher Lebensgewohnheiten vorgeführt, die an den überlieferten Hartteilen durch artspezifische Schädigungen nachzuweisen sind. Diese Methode kann auch bei fossilen, insbesondere bei bodenbezogen lebenden Mollusken angewandt werden. 3. Erkennbare Unschärfen gehen auf ökologische Faktoren, auf die unterschiedliche Empfindlichkeit der Skulptur und mögliche, postmortale Überprägungen zurück.
    Notes: Abstract Two communities of the recent bivalveCardium edule L. were collected in the tidal flats near List on the island of Sylt (Southern North Sea). The cockles were examined for abrasion marks on the surfaces of their valves arising from various causes. One important group of abrasions reveals traction marks restricted to the beak region, caused exclusively by valve movements. Another group is characterized by marks due to shell abrasions on the sea bed. The various types of abrasion marks have been studied in living cockles, both in the sea and in laboratory containers, and the results compared with those obtained on dead ones still connected by the ligament. In the sea, livingCardium edule were studied via Scuba-observations. Traction marks on the umbo support the conclusion that living cockles sometimes rest on their dorsal shell area. Holes in the convex umbo, umbonal facets, originate after death in situ or through shiftings to and fro on the sea bed, and also as a result of chemical or biological processes. The method applied and the criteria of shell abrasions employed are considered acceptable approaches to the interpretation of functional morphology and behaviour in fossil molluscs.
