Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
G. A. Cooper et al. 1952Few species of Lingulella are known from the Lower Cambrian. This one is similar to L. granvillensis Walcott in size and proportions, but has a somewhat more attenuated pedicle valve and a brachial valve with broader shoulders. Futhermore, the interiors of the two species do not agree because the broad and pronounced ridges of the Mexican species are not present in the NewYork and Vermont specimens.
