Brachiopods are marine animals with two distinct shells, or valves, that are typically symmetrical and resemble bivalve mollusks, but they are not closely related. Their shells can be fan-shaped, rounded, or elongated, and they often display intricate patterns and textures. Inside, brachiopods have a lophophore, a specialized feeding structure, which they use to filter food from the water. They are usually found anchored to the seafloor by a stalk, giving them a unique appearance compared to other shellfish.

Why did brachiopods go extinct?
Most brachiopods became extinct about 250 million years ago during the P-T Extinction period. Modern day brachiopods do still exist in the form of lingula.
How are brachiopods formed?
Brachiopods are a type of marine invertebrate that develop through a process similar to other marine organisms. They begin as larvae that settle on the ocean floor, secreting a calcareous shell for protection as they grow. Over time, they continue to grow and develop within their shells until reaching maturity.

What is brachiopods closet relativie living today?
Brachiopods are most closely related to mollusks and annelids within the lophotrochozoan group of animals. They are marine organisms with hard shells, and while they experienced a significant decline in diversity after the Paleozoic era, they still exist today. Modern brachiopods can be found in various marine environments, primarily in deep waters. Their closest living relatives include creatures like clams and snails, though they belong to different classes within the broader phylum.
Did brachipods live in the Permian time?
Yes. Brachiopods were abundant in the Permian.
