Description
Summary:Several specimens collected during the INVEMAR-MARCORAL cruise in San Bernardo, Caribbeancoast from Colombia, were examined. The brachipods are associated to deep reeef communitywith marine algae, mollusks, echinoderms, briozoan, and decapod crustaceans and were collectedfrom a wide range of sediments. The material includes the terebratulids: Argyrotheca, Terebratulinaand Tichosina. Although the diversity of this fauna is low, this record suggests that the Caribbeanbrachiopods probably are more abundant in offshore than it was supposed.
