Brachiopods
 Brachiopods
are small invertebrates, Also known as lamp shells two shelled sea animals
which have an external morphology looking like the clam.
Although they seem rare in today's seas, they are actually fairly common,
but in very cold water, either in polar regions or at great depths in the
ocean.
Identifying the rock strata in which a brachiopod is found will greatly
aid in identification of the brachiopod. The more specific the information
on the rock layer, the greater the aid in identification. This is because
each strata of rock will have its own suite of brachiopod species.
Brachiopods are washed out of the Limestone Bedrock and Clift's, they can
turn up on just about any beach in the world. |
