Micrina is an extinct genus of tommotiids with affinities to brachiopods.
[1] Micrina can be considered a stem group brachiopod based on its larval shell.
[2] Its microstructure is very brachiopod like[3] and its adult morphology is similarly bivalved,[4] even though it was once thought to be halkieriid-like.
[5] Micrina is quite similar to Mickwitzia in terms of shell microstructure.
The two genera are evidently closely related.
