| The fact that the age of many B. rosea shells exceeds 200 years is unexpected given the widely stated fragility of brachiopod shells. |
|
| The section is very fossiliferous, with an abundant brachiopod, bryozoan, coral, and phacopsid trilobite assemblage. |
|
| This incidentally was also a time of cosmopolitan brachiopod and fish distribution. |
|
| Commonly, the host is a brachiopod, but it may be a coral, bryozoan colony, crinoid stem, or mollusk. |
|
| Bryozoan and trilobite fragments, brachiopod spines, turrilepadid plates, and multiplacophoran spines are silicified. |
|
| A new species of the poorly known lingulate brachiopod Schizobolus is described from the Famennian of Poland. |
|
| Certain basic aspects of the brachiopod morphology, such as the presence or absence of a pedicle, had a major control on the brachiopod life strategy. |
|
| The pattern of Ashgill brachiopod provincialism can be traced back to the early Caradoc during the major global sea level rise and marine transgression. |
|
| The relatively moderate brachiopod generic diversity is consistent with a moderately restrictive environment, including one below the photic zone. |
|
| Therefore, in terms of geological age determined by radiolarians and the ammonoid, this brachiopod fauna should be assigned to the latest Changhsingian. |
|
| In Venezuela and Colombia, however, plant, animal, fungus, and microorganism fossils of Appalachian type dominate, although austral elements such as the brachiopod Australospirifer linger. |
|
| An Ordovician strophomenid brachiopod with encrusting inarticulate brachiopods and a bryozoan. |
|
| Coral, brachiopod, ostracode, conodont and vertebrate data were used. |
|
| Predation by durophageous chondrichthyans explains the dorsoventral flattening of brachiopod shells in an environment with low energy currents. |
|
| Phylogenetic revision of the Late Ordovician orthid brachiopod genera Plaesiomys and Hebertella from Laurentia. |
|
| Of the ten brachiopod families they unearthed, four have become extinct, five are now found exclusively in deep water and one is currently present in both the depths and the shallows. |
|
| The trace fossil, Podichnus centrifugalis, is a series of small pits produced by the action of brachiopod pedicles as they attach and grow on a hard carbonate substrate. |
|
| The lingulate brachiopod faunas documented from the Paltodus deltifer Biozone of the Eastern Alborz Mountains and Poland show clear signs of the beginning of recovery. |
