Lateral reconstructions of the inarticulate brachiopod, Micromitra burgessensis, from the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale of British Columbia. The beautiful diamond-shaped pattern on the shell and delicate fringe of setae projecting from the rim of the shell's margin are well preserved in fossils from lower and middle Cambrian rocks throughout Western North America. It has been found attached to Pirania sponges suggesting that it was an epifaunal suspension feeder. The size of the shell is usually around 6 mm. in diameter.
