Terebratalia transversa is a species of marine brachiopod in the family Terebrataliidae.[1][2] The species belongs in the deuterostome class, developing their embryos through radial cleavage.[3] Researchers find that the mesoderm found in Terebertalia larvae come from the endomesoderm and develops close to the vegetal blastopore.[3]

Its larval features include the apical organ, apical cilary tuft and bands of ciliated sections.[4] The features of the apical organ suggest an evolutionary reconstruction of brains commonly seen in bilaterians.[4]

Description

Terebratalia transversa adults can grow up to an average of 50 millimeters long. They have a distinctive, thin two-layer calcitic shell.[5] Like most invertebrates, this species cannot survive in water temperatures higher than 35°C.[5]

Most of the known morphology of T. transversa comes from research based in confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) in conjunction with both scanning and transmission electron microscopy.[6] Juveniles development quickly after their A-P axis emerges due to Hox gene expression with this event being referred to as "metamorphosis." Two days after this metamorphosis, T. transversa display adult morphology. The point at which they are referred to as adults is when they have a clearly separated body from their old two-valved juvenile shell attached via a posterior pedicle.[6]

Habitat and Distribution

Significant populations of Terebratalia transversa are located in the waters near the Pacific Northwest in the United States. Specifically, scientists have collected the species by dredging in the area around the San Juan Channel off the coast of Washington, USA.[3]

Phylum Brachiopoda

As Terebratalia transversa belongs to the phylum Brachiopoda, they share typical characteristics of the classification. Brachiopods are marine invertebrates that developed in the Phanerozoic age known for them developing shells made of calcite.

Fossilization

Due to the very thin calcitic shell of Terebratalia, the primary layer of these shells very rarely fossilize.[5] The shells of the species, when fossilized, help researchers find preserved isotopic signals that aid in uncovering molecular compositions of an old Paleozoic ocean.[5]
