Palaeontology.

A. adj.

Of or relating to the extinct superfamily Pentameroidea or family Pentameridae of articulate brachiopods having roughly pentagonal shells, known from fossils of Ordovician to Devonian age.

ΚΠ

1986 Canad. Jrnl. Earth Sci. 23 1438/2 He has observed well-preserved specimens belonging to most of the pentameroid genera.

B. n.

ΚΠ

1890 Cent. Dict. 4379/3 Pentameroid, a brachiopod of the family Pentameridæ.

1979 Paleobiology 5 139/1 A greater percentage of short-lived, reef-associated genera among the pentameroids would account for the comparatively low MGL [mean generic longevity] value relative to the orthids, spiriferids and strophomenids.
