Orthida - Orthida is an extinct order of Brachiopods which appeared during the Early Cambrian period and became very diverse by the Ordovician, living in shallow-shelf seas. Orthids are the oldest member of the Rhynchonelliformea subphylum, and is the order from which all other brachiopods of this group stem.
Linguliformea - Linguliformea is a subphylum of inarticulate brachiopods. These were the earliest of brachiopods, ranging from the Cambrian into the Holocene.
Lingulata - Lingulata is a class of brachiopod, among the oldest of all brachiopods having existed since the Cambrian period (550 mya). They are also among the most mophologically conservative of the brachiopods, having lasted from their earliest appearance to the present with very little change in shape.
Terebratulida - Terebratulids are one of the only two living orders of articulate brachiopods, the other being the Rhynchonellida. The name may be derived from the Latin "terebra", meaning "hole-borer".
Molluscoida - Molluscoida was the name formerly used to denote a division of the animal kingdom which contained Brachiopods, Bryozoans, and Tunicates, the members of the three groups having been supposed to resemble the Molluscs. As it is now known that these groups have no relation to molluscs, and very little to one another, the name Molluscoida has been abandoned.
