Echinoconchidae
Family of marine lamp shells / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Echinoconchidae is an extinct family of brachiopods which lived from the Lower Carboniferous to Upper Permian periods in marine habitats.[2] Currently, four subfamilies are assigned to it, though the evolutionary relationships between them and the family Productidae have been heavily debated for the better part of the 20th Century.[1]
