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.
