Panenka is a genus of fossil saltwater clams, marinebivalvemolluscs in the family Praecardiidae. Like most bivalves, these molluscs were suspension feeders. They lived in the Devonian Period (416,0 ± 2,8 e 359,2 ± 2,5 mya).
The valves of the shell of the species in the genus Panenka are relatively thin and somewhat elongated. Unlike most other bivalves, these species, as all the others in the subclass Cryptodonta, have no hinge teeth on their shells.
