Description The Brachiopoda or ‘lamp shells’ belong to an
ancient phylum of filter feeding marine worms. They
live inside a pair of shells much like the bivalve;
however, brachiopods differ from bivalves in many
ways. Their shells have a definite dorsal and ventral
(upper and lower) half, while bivalves, which are
molluscs, have left and right halves to their shells.
The brachiopods are so different internally that they
have been grouped under separate phylum. Lingula
is a genus of brachiopods with about eleven
species within the family lingulidae.
