Fossilized brachiopods found on Mogador Island puzzle researchers, they’re over 100 million years old, yet buried in ...

Brachiopods, ancient marine invertebrates, are rarely seen today but were once abundant in prehistoric oceans. Their blood is tinged purple due to hemerythrin, the same pigment found in peanut worms.

"Marine animal forests are habitats formed by big groups of invertebrates - creatures such as sponges, horse mussels, and brachiopods, which look a bit like clams," Bell said. Micaroni said finding ...

Brachiopods were pretty inventive in evolving new shell forms, but it did not translate into many new species.” Reference: “Morphological innovation did not drive diversification in Mesozoic–Cenozoic ...

Brachiopods were evolving in new directions but this did not turn into evolutionary success in terms of the numbers of species, researchers at the University of Bristol, the Open University, and ...

Hundreds of types of brachiopods can be found in our Commonwealth. They look something like clams and oysters, but are not related. You can find fossilized brachiopods all over the Bluegrass state, ...

(Arnaud Mazurier/University of Poitiers) The pyroclastic flow even preserved tiny brachiopods – tiny clam-like creatures that adhered to the shell of the trilobites in an epibiotic relationship. These ...

In this paper, we propose a descriptor for Brachiopods classification by using a combination between curvature and Fourier descriptors. The curvature properties provide an apparently powerful cue to ...

eLife assessment This valuable study examines the evolution of the pillars in the shell architecture of organo-phosphatic brachiopods. The phylogenetic implications of this shell structure in relation ...
