Hi Brachiopod enthusiasts. I am preparing a talk (volunteer) for the Maryland Natural History Society and am asking if anyone can help me to access some literature that would help. Stanley, Stephen M 1974 What Has happened to the Articulate Brachiopods Geological Society of America Annual Meetings Miami Florida, Clams and Brachiopods-Ships that Pass in the Night Gould, Stephen Paleobiology Vol 6 #4 Fall 1980 pp383-396 and Researchgate.net publication/229615227 Predatory Asteroids and the decline of the Articulate Brachiopods Donovan, Stephen K 10/2007. Just noticed what's with all these Stephens and brachiopods?
Finally does any one have any info on the proportion of articulate brachiopods that used pedicles versus just laying on the bottom or using spines?
Any specific help would be greatly appreciated. If anyone wants to comment or make suggestions about what to include i would welcome them. The talk is titled Brachiopods and Bivalves: Two Look-alikes with different approaches to filter feeding. It is geared for curious individuals to stimulate interest in both groups and includes fossil and modern examples. Thanks for taking a look and any comments you would like to make.
