Terebratalia Xanthica
''Terebratalia'' is a genus of brachiopods belonging to the family Terebrataliidae. **Terebratalia** is a genus of brachiopods, marine animals with hard "shells" on their upper and lower surfaces, similar to bivalve mollusks. These organisms are part of the phylum Brachiopoda, which are often referred to as "lamp shells" due to their resemblance to ancient oil lamps. Brachiopods are known for their extensive fossil record, dating back over 500 million years, and are used by paleontologists to study past marine environments and evolutionary history. Key characteristics of Terebratalia and brachiopods in general include: 1. **Shell Structure**: Brachiopods have two shells, or valves, that are typically symmetrical along the hinge line but different in size and shape from each other. Terebratalia, in particular, often has smooth, biconvex shells. 2. **Lophophore**: They possess a specialized feeding structure called a lophophore, which is a crown of tentacles used for filter-feedi ...

Terebratalia Transversa
''Terebratalia transversa'' or the North Pacific Lampshell is a species of marine brachiopod in the family Terebrataliidae. A two-valved shelled species, they are most frequently found in Tide pool, tidal habitats in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Life history Larval stage The species belongs to the deuterostome class, developing their embryos through Cleavage (embryo), radial cleavage. Researchers find that the mesoderm found in ''Terebertalia'' larvae comes from the endomesoderm and develops close to the vegetal Gastrulation, blastopore. Its larval features include the apical organ, apical ciliary tuft, and bands of Cilium, ciliated sections. The features of the apical organ suggest an evolutionary reconstruction of brains commonly seen in bilaterians. During the development of this apical organ, the ciliated sections form together into a tuft with recessed rootlets that is made up of Acetylation, acetylated α-Tubulin alpha-1A chain, tubulin. The larvae ar ...

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 ...

Terebrataliidae
Terebrataliidae is a family of brachiopods belonging to the order Terebratulida Terebratulids are one of only three living orders of articulate brachiopods, the others being the Rhynchonellida and the Thecideida. Craniida and Lingulida include living brachiopods, but are inarticulates. The name, Terebratula, may be der ....
