Crania (brachiopod)

Crania is an extinct genus of brachiopods that lived during the Upper Cretaceous.

Crania has small (up to 2 centimetres or 0.79 inches in diameter) circular shells.

The dorsal valve is smooth or has slight pustules.

The ventral valve is only attached posteriorly and has a thickened flat grainy rim.

[1] As the genus Crania was erected early on in paleontology, many species have since be reassigned.
