Lingulella Explained

Lingulella is a genus of phosphatic-shelled brachiopod. It is known from the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale (Canada) to the Upper Ordovician Bromide Formation (United States) in North America.^[1] ^[2] 346 specimens of Lingulella are known from the Greater Phyllopod bed, where they comprise 0.66% of the community.^[3]

Some specimens of the brachiopod preserve the pedicle intact, which was long and thin.^[4] The brachiopod is thought to have been a generalist, as it appears consistently throughout the strata of the Greater Phyllopod bed.
