Often sources don't said anything about the juvenile forms of brachiopods so here is a picture of juveniles of the brachiopod Theodossia hungerfordi. Since the adults are so abundant it makes it easier to find a wide variety of sizes. -

Most commonly Theodossia hungerfordi keep both halves of the shells when it die. So for a bit while when I found those top portion of shells separated I thought they were a different species but shows how dramatic this brachiopod can look different. -

Theodossia hungerfordi very common. I also noticed it tend to be more variable in shapes and have thicker harder shells so deformation due to geological processes is rarer than a couple other lookalikes. Can be easily mistaken for several other genus due to its variability in shapes.-
