When vertebrates invaded land during the Carboniferous
period, they were exposed not only to new ecological opportunities but also to a desiccating environment (Williams and Tieleman, 2002). To maintain cellular water homeostasis in such an environment, natural selection modified the integument of pioneering terrestrial animals, enabling them to reduce water loss through the skin. Nowhere is this modification of the integument more important than f...
متن کاملSyncarid Crustaceans from the Montceau Lagerstätte (upper Carboniferous; France)
Key aspects of the morphology, autecology, systematics and taphonomy of the crustacean syncarids from the Montceau Lagerstätte (Upper Carboniferous, Stephanian B; France) are presented. Palaeocaris secretanae is the most abundant faunal element of the Montceau biota and shows striking morphological similarities with Palaeocaris typus from the Mazon Creek Lagerstätte (Westphalian D; Illinois, US...
متن کاملA review of the Carboniferous and Permian trilobites of Australia.
The first complete review of the Carboniferous and Permian trilobite species found within Australia is presented to assess the current standing of Australian taxa in a modern systematic context. The review consists of four families, 20 genera and 61 known species from the early Tournaisian to Moscovian (358.9 Ma to 304 Ma), throughout New South Wales, Tasmania, Western Australia and Queensland....
متن کاملTomographic Reconstruction of Neopterous Carboniferous Insect Nymphs
Two new polyneopteran insect nymphs from the Montceau-les-Mines Lagerstätte of France are presented. Both are preserved in three dimensions, and are imaged with the aid of X-ray micro-tomography, allowing their morphology to be recovered in unprecedented detail. One-Anebos phrixos gen. et sp. nov.-is of uncertain affinities, and preserves portions of the antennae and eyes, coupled with a heavil...
متن کاملFire ecology of a Late Carboniferous floodplain, Joggins, Nova Scotia
The facies distribution and palaeobotanical identity of fossil charcoal is described from the Upper Carboniferous (Westphalian A–B) Joggins section, Nova Scotia, in order to examine the fire ecology of early Westphalian floodplains. Three charcoal assemblages are noted. Assemblage (1) consists of channel sandstone bodies, containing beds of calcrete breccia, cordaite logs (up to 3 m long), and ...
