[Brachiopods of the] superfamily Pentameracea [have] shells [that are] variable in size but tending to be large; commonly strongly biconvex; [the] exterior [is] smooth, costellate, costate, rarely pitted or granulose. [The] pedicle interior [has a] well-developed spondylium, usually supported on [a] septum but free in a few genera. Lophophore supports consist of rodlike or bladelike brachial processes which are unmodified(...) ;at [the] posterior end [the] brachial processes are supported on plates which usually extend forward sufficiently to enclose [a] brachial muscle field but which may be shortened to exclude [the] muscle field.

[Brachiopods of the] family Pentameridae [are] smooth, costate, costellate, granulose, or pitted, with or without interareas and generally have strongly biconvex shells. [A] pedicle spondylium [is] well developed, commonly supported at least in part by [a] septum.
