Genus lingula diet Lingulid brachiopods, such as Lingula anatina, are regarded as one of the most primitive of brachiopods. 27 05:20:40 Composita is an extinct brachiopod genus that lived from the Late Devonian to the Late Permian. Genus Lingula Class Articulata Genus Atrypa Genus Composita Genus Juresania* Genus Leptaena Genus Mucrospirifer Genus Platystrophia Genus Ranesquina Order Rhynchonellida MOLLUSKS (Phylum Mollusca) Class Bivalvia (clams, oysters, mussels) Genus Exogyra Genus Gryphaea Genus Pecten Genus Glycymeris Genus Astarte Genus Nucula Class Cephalopoda the characteristics of the shell of Lingula anatina in West Bengal-Odisha coast, India, and they found their specimens had two dissimilar valves which emerge to be oblong-ovate, elongate, bilaterally symmetrical, endowed with parallel lateral margins, sharp beaks, and straight edges. live in relatively shallow coastal waters. Lingula lives in burrows in barren sandy coastal seafloor and f The single septum (dividing wall) in the dorsal valve reaches about 25–30% of the valve length and the two divergent septa in the ventral valve about 30–38%. Lingula is known to have existed since the early Ordovician period. Lamy & Andre (1941) and Rowell (1964) point out this issue an conclude that Lingula iopod, genus Lingula (lamp shell) belongs to family Lingulidae and phylum Brachiopoda, which is widely distributed in the Pacific and Indian, Atlantic oceans near the west coast of Africa [1] .
