Juresania is an extinct genus of brachiopod that existed from the Carboniferous to the Permian. [1] [2]
Juresania's members were epifaunal, meaning they lived on top of the seafloor, not buried within it, and were suspension feeders. [1] [3] They had small spines that cover both halves of the shell.
Juresania specimens can be found in the Americas, Europe, and Asia, with most Juresania specimens having been found in the Northern Hemisphere. [1] [4] [5]
Species in the genus Juresania include: [1] [3] [4] [5]
