Brachiopod Fossil
Brachiopods are a phylum of trochozoan animals that have hard "valves" (shells) on the upper and lower surfaces. Brachiopod valves are hinged at the rear end, while the front can be opened for feeding or closed for protection. Brachiopods live only in the sea, and most species avoid locations with strong currents or waves.
