The State of Silurian
The geological sciences demand close international cooperation as wel as a rigorous and clearly understood language of words. Nowhere is this more keenly felt than in stratigraphy where, despite the luxury of long philosophical discussions on rocks versus time, many feel a sense of urgency about attempts to achieve a standard global chronostratigraphy. The now wel-known pioneer work of the inte...
متن کاملA Silurian 'marrellomorph' arthropod.
Xylokorys chledophilia, a new arthropod with three-dimensionally preserved soft tissues, is described from the Herefordshire (Silurian) Lagerstätte of England. The head and trunk are covered by a relatively featureless ovoid carapace, which comprises a domed central part and a flange-like border. The head bears five pairs of appendages. The first is uniramous, with dorsal and ventral projection...
متن کاملOctopus tetricus (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) as an ecosystem engineer ; Octopus tetricus (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) como ingeniero de ecosistemas
The Sydney octopus (Octopus tetricus) occurs in unusual numbers on a shell bed of its prey remains that have accumulated as an extended midden where additional octopuses excavate dens. Here, O tetricus are ecosystem engineers, organisms that modulate availability of resources to other species and to their own species by causing physical state changes in materials. A community of invertebrate gr...
متن کاملA soft-bodied lophophorate from the Silurian of England.
Soft-bodied taxa comprise an important component of the extant lophophorate fauna, but convincing fossils of soft-bodied lophophorates are extremely rare. A small fossil lophophorate, attached to a brachiopod dorsal valve, is described from the Silurian (Wenlock Series) Herefordshire Lagerstätte of England. This unmineralized organism was bilaterally symmetrical and comprised a subconical body ...
متن کاملBrood care in a Silurian ostracod.
An exceptionally preserved new ostracod crustacean from the Silurian of Herefordshire, England, preserves eggs and possible juveniles within its carapace, providing an unequivocal and unique view of parental brood care in the invertebrate fossil record. The female fossil is assigned to a new family and superfamily of myodocopids based on its soft-part anatomy. It demonstrates a remarkably conse...
