Two new species of Isogramma, an unusual Pennsylvanian brachiopod genus, are described. One species, I. renfrarum, was pieced together from loose fragments and proves to be the largest species of the ...

Ventral view of Mucrospirifer, a fossil brachiopod, showing the characteristically wing-like shell. This Devonian specimen from Ohio is 3.5cm wide. Brachiopod hard parts have excellent preservation ...

Rich brachiopod fossils dating back 470 million years to the Ordovician period were discovered in Zigui county, Central China's Hubei Province. Experts suggest these fossils provide evidence for ...

Researchers of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have carried out the first detailed study of the molecular mechanisms responsible for formation of the brachiopod shell. Comparison with ...

The relationship between parasite and host is as old as many of the world's earliest animals. In a new study, researchers present the first-ever evidence of a parasitic relationship, dating back 512 ...

The mechanism that allows a species of brachiopod to change its shell from rigid to soft and flexible has been revealed, bringing with it new possibilities in the field of material sciences. A recent ...

Researchers have carried out the first detailed study of the molecular mechanisms responsible for formation of the brachiopod shell. Comparison with shell synthesis in other groups reveals the deep ...

Brachiopod and crinoid fossils from the Late Ordovician, about 445 million years ago.

Study shows sandwich-stacked columns give brachiopod shells their strength and flexibility Researchers have shed new light on the evolution of biomineralized columnar pillars in the shells of small ...
