The document discusses the classification of brachiopods based on whether they have an hinge or not. Those without a hinge are called Inarticulata and those with a hinge are called Articulata. The Inarticulata are small and simple while the Articulata are more complex with teeth, sockets, and diductor muscles. The Inarticulata class includes the Lingulida and Acrotretida orders which differ in their time periods, shell materials, anchoring methods, and shell shapes.

• The articulates are much more complex. Table Differentiation Inarticulate Articulate Hingle Simple, Doesn’t use teeth or Socket Teeth and sockets hinge present. Hinge Shel Small, simple, mostly flat, Calcite, can be very ornamented chitineous Pedicle Doesn’t have pedicle, instead they Presents have a flat pedicle valve that they cement to the seafloor Muscle Only adductors Adductor muscles for closing and diductor muscles for opening Anus Presents Absent Kelas Inarticulate • Cangkang umumnya terbentuk dari zat tanduk
• Tidak mempunyai engsel atau lophophore support.
• Umumnya fosil-fosil penting dari Klas Inarticulata berumur Kambrium –
Silur.
• Memiliki dua Ordo:
• Ordo Lingulida • Ordo Acrotetida Ordo Lingulida • Live on Ordovician-recent • The shells of lingulida are made mostly from Calcium Phosphate • Live burrowed in the soft sediment, Anchord by they pedical Ordo Acrotretida • Live from Cambrian until now • Have constantly shell morphology • Generally subcircular to circular, unequally biconvex • Often pedicle opening
