Unlocking the Secrets of Lingula: A Fossilized Genus of Extinct Brachiopods

Lingula is a genus of extinct brachiopods that lived during the Paleozoic Era, from about 450 to 250 million years ago. These organisms were marine and had a bivalve-like shell with two hinged parts. They were filter feeders, using their mantle to capture food particles from the water. Lingula is known for its distinctive shell shape and is often found as a fossil in sedimentary rocks.
