Brachiopods at Hydrocarbon Seeps

Evolutionarily ancient deep‐water seep communities in the Eocene Tethys: examples from Buje (Croatia)

“…Well preserved ancient vent assemblages are scarce and known only from a handful of deposits (Georgieva et al 2021;Kaim et al 2021 and references therein). Most Phanerozoic seep assemblages are dominated by molluscs, chiefly bivalves and, less frequently, gastropods (Kiel 2010c;Kaim et al 2014Kaim et al , 2016Jakubowicz et al 2017;Hryniewicz et al 2017;Amano et al 2022;Kaim 2022), while other groups such as brachiopods or tube worms are less common, although they also occur (Peckmann et al 2005;Sandy 2010; Kiel et al 2014;Georgieva et al 2019;Vinn 2022;Georgieva & Little 2022;Bali nski et al 2022;Klompmaker et al 2022).…”
