R. J., just read your post. I've collected Terebratulina septentrionalis (Couthouy, 1838) live under rocks during a minus tide in Eastport, Maine in August 2005. Otherwise, it turns up regularly in the storage bins where they store fish nets on Gloucester, MA piers. Don't know the depth the nets are dropped at. I've also collected a few on a North Shore beach before (but the exact locale is escaping me at the moment). Definitely on Cape Ann though. -Kevin Czaja On Thu, 4 Jan 2007 19:57:27 -0800, R R <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >Hi Paul, > > I have heard of them coming up on deep-water lobster pots out of Cape Cod Bay.

Because I found only a couple, and saw no adults, I suspect that their usual habitat is somewhat deeper, and these were just a couple of specimens on the "outer fringe". > Paul M. > ---------- >From: Conchologists List on behalf of R R >Reply To: Conchologists List >Sent: Tuesday, January 2, 2007 7:32 PM >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Brachiopods > Good Day, > >Is there anyone in the New England area who has collected extant brachiopods such as Terebratulina, etc?
