Brachiopods are a small phylum of benthic invertebrates. Also known as lamp shells, "brachs" or Brachiopoda, they are sessile, two-valved, marine animals with an external morphology superficially resembling bivalves, to which they are not closely related. Approximately 99 percent of all brachiopod species are documented solely from the fossil record.
