Levenea subcarinata pumilis Brachiopod
 
Bois d'Arc Formation (overlays the Haragan) of Oklahoma
TIME PERIOD: Lower Devonian (359-383 Million Years Ago)
One of the more common brachiopods that are found in the Bois d'Arc formation is Levenea subcarinata pumilis. It is similar to Rhipimelloides oblata except for a few key features. The hinge line is wide and straight and the presence of a wide, shallow fold/sulcus structure. Otherwise they share some similar traits like the rounded shape to the shell and the pedicle valve extending slightly past the brachial valve. Another difference are the fine costae on the valve surfaces which on L. subcarinata pumilis are more curved instead of straight. the margin between the valves is flat except for where it bends to follow the fold/sulcus.
Kingdom: Animalia
