Systematics Of The Brachiopoda Information from the University of California paleontology Museum. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/brachiopoda/brachiopodasy.html
Extractions: The Phoronida , a probable close relative of the Brachiopoda, is the outgroup on the above cladogram. Both groups belong to the larger group Lophophorata Traditionally, the brachiopods have been split into two major groups, the Inarticulata and the Articulata. The Inarticulata got their name from the fact that they possess two valves that do not have an articulating hinge. The groups above that fit this description are the Lingulata and Obolellida; all others have articulating hinges. Recently it has been argued that hinge articulation is not a good character on which to make brachiopod groups. Thus, we break up the brachiopods as shown above, following Popov et al. (1993). It should be noted here that brachiopod phylogeny has been unstable in recent years, with various authors proposing that brachiopods are polyphyletic that is, that different brachiopod groups evolved separately from phoronid-like ancestors.

Alfred Wegener Brief biography and description of work from the University of California Museum of paleontology. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/history/wegener.html
Extractions: "Scientists still do not appear to understand sufficiently that all earth sciences must contribute evidence toward unveiling the state of our planet in earlier times, and that the truth of the matter can only be reached by combing all this evidence. . . It is only by combing the information furnished by all the earth sciences that we can hope to determine 'truth' here, that is to say, to find the picture that sets out all the known facts in the best arrangement and that therefore has the highest degree of probability. Further, we have to be prepared always for the possibility that each new discovery, no matter what science furnishes it, may modify the conclusions we draw." Alfred Wegener. The Origins of Continents and Oceans (4th edition) Some truly revolutionary scientific theories may take years or decades to win general acceptance among scientists. This is certainly true of plate tectonics , one of the most important and far-ranging geological theories of all time; when first proposed, it was ridiculed, but steadily accumulating evidence finally prompted its acceptance, with immense consequences for geology, geophysics, oceanography, and paleontology. And the man who first proposed this theory was a brilliant interdisciplinary scientist, Alfred Wegener. While at Marburg, in the autumn of 1911, Wegener was browsing in the university library when he came across a scientific paper that listed fossils of identical plants and animals found on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Intrigued by this information, Wegener began to look for, and find, more cases of similar organisms separated by great oceans. Orthodox science at the time explained such cases by postulating that land bridges, now sunken, had once connected far-flung continents. But Wegener noticed the close fit between the coastlines of Africa and South America. Might the similarities among organisms be due, not to land bridges, but to the continents having been joined together at one time? As he later wrote: "A conviction of the fundamental soundness of the idea took root in my mind."
