Brachiopods, phylumBrachiopoda, are marine animals that have hard "valves" (shells) on the upper and lower surfaces, unlike the left and right arrangement in bivalvemolluscs. Brachiopod valves are hinged at the rear end, while the front can be opened for feeding or closed for protection. Two major groups are recognized, articulate and inarticulate. Articulate brachiopods have toothed hinges and simple opening and closing muscles, while inarticulate brachiopods have untoothed hinges and a more complex system of muscles used to keep the two halves aligned. In a typical brachiopod a stalk-like pedicle projects from an opening in one of the valves, known as the pedicle valve, keeping the animal anchored to the seabed but clear of silt that would obstruct the opening.
The word "brachiopod" is formed from the Ancient Greek words βραχίων ("arm") and πούς ("foot"). They are often known as "lamp shells", since the curved shells of the classTerebratulida look rather like pottery oil-lamps.
Continuing through Lophophorata, we arrive at Brachiopoda, the lamp shells. There aren't many of these left today, but they are fascinating tiny little sea creatures, so let's learn about them now!

The invertebrate phylum of Brachiopods: Lophophorate group, lifestyle (epifaunal, marine), reproduction, distinction with mollusks (symmetry), anatomy (dorsal vs ventral valve, pedicle, cardinal process, lophophore, brachidium, muscles (adductors, diductors, adjustors), mantle vs body cavity, nephridium, gonads, stomach, etc.), morphology (hinge line- strophic vs astrophic, fold and sulcus, interarea, septum, ribs and costae, shell shapes- plano-convex, concavo-convex, biconvex, etc.), classification: inarticulates (linguliformae & craniiformae) vs articulates (rhynconelliformae), articulate orders (orthids, strophamenids, pentamerids, spiriferids, rhynchonellids, terebratulids), and evolution.

Brachiopods: They're Not Clams
THEY ARE NOT CLAMS. Brachiopods are a 550 million year old phylum of filter-feeding animals that once ruled over the paleozoic seafloor. Today, they don't do nothin', but we still love them! Yay fossils!

I Found Brachiopods Everywhere (Fossil Hunting)
I've been out hunting for fossils and found mostly Brachiopods since they are Kentucky's state fossil. I also found a horn coral fossil also.

Continuing through Lophophorata, we arrive at Brachiopoda, the lamp shells. There aren't many of these left today, but they are fascinating tiny little sea creatures, so let's learn about them now!

THEY ARE NOT CLAMS. Brachiopods are a 550 million year old phylum of filter-feeding animals that once ruled over the paleozoic seafloor. Today, they don't do nothin', but we still love them! Yay fossils!

I've been out hunting for fossils and found mostly Brachiopods since they are Kentucky's state fossil. I also found a horn coral fossil also.

Brachiopods, phylumBrachiopoda, are marine animals that have hard "valves" (shells) on the upper and lower surfaces, unlike the left and right arrangement in bivalvemolluscs. Brachiopod valves are hinged at the rear end, while the front can be opened for feeding or closed for protection. Two major groups are recognized, articulate and inarticulate. Articulate brachiopods have toothed hinges and simple opening and closing muscles, while inarticulate brachiopods have untoothed hinges and a more complex system of muscles used to keep the two halves aligned. In a typical brachiopod a stalk-like pedicle projects from an opening in one of the valves, known as the pedicle valve, keeping the animal anchored to the seabed but clear of silt that would obstruct the opening.
The word "brachiopod" is formed from the Ancient Greek words βραχίων ("arm") and πούς ("foot"). They are often known as "lamp shells", since the curved shells of the classTerebratulida look rather like pottery oil-lamps.

Researchers have shed new light on the evolution of biomineralized columnar pillars in the shells of small marine shellfish called phosphatic-shelled or linguliform brachiopods ... Brachiopods emerged and spread rapidly during the Cambrian period.
