@jmccyoung Fascinating! with a terrific chart of the drama 250m years ago: "the bivalves could adapt better to high ocean temperatures. So, this gave them the edge, and after the Jurassic, they just rocketed in numbers, and the brachiopods didn’t do much.”

#Brachiopods have hard shells on their upper and lower surfaces. This gives them the appearance of a clam, although they are unrelated. #LinguliformBrachiopods are of particular interest due to their lightweight, strong, and tough shells.
