Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cyrtospirifer disjunctus (Sowerby in Sedgwick & Murchison, 1840) - fossil brachiopod in sandstone from the Devonian of New York State, USA

Brachiopods are sessile, benthic, filter-feeding, marine invertebrates. They first appear in Cambrian rocks and were abundant in Earth's oceans throughout the Paleozoic. They were also common in Mesozoic oceans, but are scarce in modern oceanic biotas. Brachiopods have two shells, called valves, that are usually calcareous (made of calcite - CaCO3 - calcium carbonate). Each shell of a brachiopod is bilaterally symmetrical, unlike each shell of a bivalve (clam).

Classification: Animalia, Brachiopoda, Articulata (a.k.a. Rhynchonelliformea), Spiriferida, Cyrtospiriferidae

Stratigraphy: unrecorded/undisclosed unit in the Chemung Group, Devonian

Locality: unrecorded/undisclosed site in southwestern New York State, USA
