  1. lampshell

    A lampshell is a marine invertebrate animal belonging to the phylum Brachiopoda. They are characterized by their two shells (valves) on the upper and lower surfaces, resembling oil lamps, hence the name "lampshell," and are known for being one of the oldest and most primitive types of shellfish. They filter food particles out of the water using a specialized organ called the lophophore. Most live in cold waters and attach themselves to the seabed using a stalk known as a pedicle.
