Abstract

All known data on the composition of extant and extinct Pleistocene brachiopods are summarized based on of the author’s identification of domestic and some foreign (Danish, French, German, and Norwegian) collections and published data. The data on 389 species and 114 genera and subgenera of 31 families, 5 orders, and 3 classed are presented. The synonymy of some taxa is considered; some taxa are partly revised. Each species is provided with the data on geographic distribution and, if possible, on the depth range in the modern seas. The data on the time of appearance show that the species composition of Holocene brachiopods was formed mostly in the postglacial time. The oldest records of the species considered are dated Eocene (inarticulate and short-looped terebratulids), Oligocene (thecideids and long-looped terebratulids), and Miocene (rhynchonellids), that is, the time of phased establishment of the modern global thermohaline circulation of surface and deep waters in the seas and oceans.
