Abstract
Bilateral symmetry is generally typical for brachiopods, although it is sometimes disturbed in living and fossil brachiopods of different orders by some topical and trophic reasons. Asymmetry is observed in both outer and inner structures of these invertebrates, mostly in the shell shape and organs connected with filtration. Asymmetry is observed primarily in brachiopods inhabiting reef facies and adjacent shelf areas.
