List of brachiopod genera
Encyclopedia
This is a list of brachiopod
genera
which includes both living and extinct
(fossil) forms. Extant (living) genera are bolded. No attempt is made to subdivide them into suprageneric groups.
Naming conventions and terminology follow the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature
. Technical terms used include:Junior synonym which describes the same taxon as a previously published name; Nomen nudum
(Latin for "naked name"), a taxonomicaly invalid name that has appeared in print but has not yet been formally published by the standards of the ICZN;and Nomen dubium
(Latin for "dubious name") which describes a fossil with no unique diagnostic features and therefore can be an extremely subjective and controversial. Genera, and species, are based on type specimens with priority given to the first named.
Brachiopod
Brachiopods are a phylum of marine animals that have hard "valves" 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...

Extinction
In biology and ecology, extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms , normally a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species, although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point...
