Predation on Brachiopods

  • Chapter
Predator—Prey Interactions in the Fossil Record

Part of the book series: Topics in Geobiology ((TGBI,volume 20))

Abstract

If someone were to have written a chapter reviewing brachiopod predation thirty years ago, the paper would have been quite short. Since then, numerous papers have been written on the subject, including many excellent case studies. Nonetheless, despite a growing body of literature on the topic, there are certain questions related to brachiopod predation that I am often asked. So the first part of this review will attempt to answer these questions.
