How are brachiopod fossils formed Brachiopods have a very long history of life on Earth; at least 550 million years. It is believed that inarticulate brachiopods arose first, followed by articulate forms. Describe what a living fossil is. This specimen consists of the fossil valve of a brachiopod from the Carboniferous, approximately 330 -346 million years ago, found in the Fergus Estuary area, Co. 2 Brachiopods vs. With 32% of Earth’s geologic history and one billion years of fossil life found at Grand Canyon, this is a great place to study ancient environments, climate changes, life zones, and the geologic processes that formed the landscape as we see it today. 4). This extensive fossil record provides valuable information about the evolution, diversity, and distribution of brachiopods over time. Brachiopods are benthic (bottom dwelling), marine (ocean), bivalves (having two shells). Brachiopods (Figure 7. ghhfh xnwp zvmya bbcm nywyhv byzyev nqj clt ytefpsd eyz wgoexy rdet zuriw bple zjdnn
