Formation in Chrysochromulina Chiton
The normal form of the species has been compared with a deviant form and the processes of scale production in both more fully studied. The deviation is shown to be genetically based, possibly a mutation, of which the main structural expression is loss of capacity to develop the normal outer layer of material on each scale. The large scales also lack rims, a flange on the back giving a spurious ...
متن کاملThe Middle Ordovician Section at Crown Point Peninsula, New York
The Chazy, Black River and Trenton Groups are a well studied sequence of fossiliferous limestones, dolostones and sandstones in the Champlain Valley of New York, Vermont and southern Quebec. These rocks record shallow water cyclic sedimentation in the foreland basin of Laurentia prior to and during the initial stages of the Taconic Orogeny. This field trip reviews the stratigraphy of these unit...
متن کاملA Chiton Uses Aragonite Lenses to Form Images
Hundreds of ocelli are embedded in the dorsal shell plates of certain chitons. These ocelli each contain a pigment layer, retina, and lens, but it is unknown whether they provide chitons with spatial vision. It is also unclear whether chiton lenses are made from proteins, like nearly all biological lenses, or from some other material. Electron probe X-ray microanalysis and X-ray diffraction rev...
متن کاملA new species of spiny Solanum (Solanaceae) from Peru
A new species of Solanum is described from Peru. Solanum junctum S. Stern & M. Nee, sp nov. is a member of the Torva clade of the spiny solanums (Leptostemonum clade). The narrow corolla lobes and recurved prickles of Solanum junctum are similar to species in the Micracantha clade, but Solanum junctum differs in its branched inflorescences and upright green fruits. These characteristics are sha...
متن کاملThe Ordovician Hammer
Transposition in conservative fields reaches its full potential in case that is unexplainable for any well-established theory. There are a number of phenomena and findings in various areas of science that stays in disagreement with those theories. Number of them were analyzed and described in this paper. Additionally, reason for Z-Process and its consequences in the galaxy scale was given.
