Lingulella is a genus of phosphatic-shelled^[5] brachiopod. It is known from the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale (Canada) to the Upper Ordovician Bromide Formation (United States) in North America.^[6]^[7] 346 specimens of Lingulella are known from the Greater Phyllopod bed, where they comprise 0.66% of the community.^[8]
