Two sources of the mesoderm were observed to form simultaneously from the anterior and posterior walls of the archenteron at the gastrula stage. Both anterior and posterior rudiments form enterocoely as unpaired protrusions of the wall of the archenteron and are subsequently separated from it. The findings confirmed the previous data on enterocoely in brachiopods. Moreover, a dual origin of the coelomic mesoderm from an anterior and a posterior precursor was for the first time demonstrated for all brachiopods.
