Brachiopod Marine Fossil Sea Shell mm 29 x 29 x 25 gr 25 Rhynchonella woodae Benthic Sessile Invertebrata Extinct Prehistoric Brachiopods Mesozoic Jurassic Collecting Paleontology Museum.

Pleasant fossil find of Brachiopoda Rhynconellidae from the Middle Jurassic of Madagascar, representative collecible specimen of good quality well preserved, with clear details of the triangular shell's shape of the unequal dorsal and ventral valves and the longitudinal striae of the ribs.
Only a piece, as in photos.


The phylum of Brachiopoda consists of marine Invertebrates, benthic, sessil, sospensivorous and with bilateral symmetry.
The plane of symmetry is perpendicular to the commissure of the valves, which are divided into a peduncular valve (or ventral) and a brachial valve (or dorsal), generally smaller. They are inequivalves and equilateral.
They look, similar to the phylum of bivalve molluscs, is simply due to convergent evolution, having no direct relationship with them.
Nowadays these animals are scarce because they live in "refuge areas", ie areas with low population and competition. They were however very common in the Paleozoic, then, following the mass extinction at the Permian-Triassic, have migrated into deeper waters.
