Further Informations
At their peak in the Paleozoic era, the brachiopods were among the most abundant filter-feeders and reef-builders in the sea, and occupied as well ecologigal niches. Brachiopod fossils have been useful indicators of climate changes during the Paleozoic.
Cystospirifer rudikense attaches to hard surfaces with its pedicle (“stalk”). However, the style is so flexible that it can move into the perfect position for filtering.
