Agnes Crane
Agnes Crane (June 1852September 1932) was an English paleontologist, who published a number of articles on fossil and recent brachiopods, described a new brachiopod species, and presented her work internationally. Early life Agnes Crane was born in June 1852 in Thorney, near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. She was the only child of Edward Crane and Jane Turnell. Crane lived in Thorney until 1866, when her father retired. They settled in Brighton in 1867, after travelling around Europe. Crane lived in Brighton for the rest of her life. Edward Crane was elected a Fellow of the Geological Society of London in 1872, and became involved with the Brighton Museum in the 1870s, first assisting with the geological gallery, and later as a member and then chair of the museum committee. Writings on paleontology From the late 1870s, Crane had a deep interest in recent and fossil organisms, and wrote a number of journal articles on fish, cephalopods A cephalopod is any member of the mo ...

Joyce Richardson
Joyce Ravina Richardson (née Richards; 14 July 1923 – 13 October 2019) was a New Zealand palaeontologist. She specialised in the study of brachiopods in both New Zealand and Australia. Biography Joyce Ravina Richards was born in New Zealand on 14 July 1923. She studied zoology at the University of Otago and won the Parker Memorial Prize in 1945. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1946, and a Master of Arts degree in 1949. In early 1949, she moved to Australia to take up a position at the University of Melbourne. She completed a PhD there in 1958 for her thesis, ''The cainozoic terebratuloid and terebratelloid brachiopoda of Australia''. She subsequently worked for the National Museum of Victoria, before returning to New Zealand to take up a position at the New Zealand Oceanographic Institute. In 1977, Richardson won a grant from ''National Geographic'' to undertake an expedition to study brachiopods in the waters surrounding Stewart Island. The team included d ...

Brachiopods
Brachiopods (), phylum Brachiopoda, are a phylum of animals that have hard "valves" (shells) on the upper and lower surfaces, unlike the left and right arrangement in bivalve molluscs. Brachiopod valves are hinged at the rear end, while the front can be opened for feeding or closed for protection. Two major categories are traditionally recognized, articulate and inarticulate brachiopods. The word "articulate" is used to describe the tooth-and-groove structures of the valve-hinge which is present in the articulate group, and absent from the inarticulate group. This is the leading diagnostic skeletal feature, by which the two main groups can be readily distinguished as fossils. Articulate brachiopods have toothed hinges and simple, vertically oriented opening and closing muscles. Conversely, inarticulate brachiopods have weak, untoothed hinges and a more complex system of vertical and oblique (diagonal) muscles used to keep the two valves aligned. In many brachiopods, a stalk-like ...
