Dictyothyris is an extinct genus of brachiopods that lived from the Middle Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous throughout what is now Europe[1][2] and North Africa.[1]
Description
Like members of the Class Rhynchonellata, it is possible that members of this genus were blind.[3] They were also likely stationary suspension feeders, relying upon ocean currents to obtain food.[3][4]
