The Cretaceous was a time of decline for brachiopods, which tried unsuccessfully to re-occupy lost niches in the neritic communities. The structure of the Cretaceous brachiopod assemblages was much simpler than that of the Paleozoic ones. Nevertheless, the analysis of the quantitative composition of these assemblages provides an instructive view of their development, which is characterized by frequent opportunism and interruptions of the evolution of assemblages. Fluctuations in distribution are also typical for Cretaceous brachiopod paleobiogeography, making the exact delimitation of the mutual boundaries between a Tethyan, a Jura and a Boreal realm problematic, if not speculative in detail.
