RECONSTRUCTING A LOST WORLD: EDIACARAN RANGEOMORPHS FROM SPANIARD'S BAY, NEWFOUNDLAND
Jul 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT-Ediacaran fronds at Spaniard's Bay on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland exhibit exquisite, three-dimensional preservation with morphological features less than 0.05 mm in width visible on the best preserved specimens. Most of the nearly 100 specimens are juvenile rangeomorphs, an ...
ONTOGENY AND GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION OF A NEW SPECIES OF THE CORYNEXOCHINE TRILOBITE ZACANTHOPSIS (DYERAN, CAMBRIAN)
Jul 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT - Assessment of ontogenetic and geographic variation can have substantial influence on species delimitation and thereby on perceived patterns of species-level morphological variation and diversity in space and time. Here we describe the ontogeny and intraspecific variation of the early ...
KATIAN (ORDOVICIAN) RADIOLARIANS FROM THE MALONGULLI FORMATION, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, A REEXAMINATION
Jul 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT-Upper Ordovician radiolarians are described from limestone within the Malongulli Formation in the Cliefden Caves area using revised systematics. Eight genera and 12 species are described, including the following four new species: Protoceratoikiscum crossingi, Haplotaeniatum ovatum, ...
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE STUDY OF FOSSIL ASTEROIDEA (ECHINODERMATA) OF NEW GENERA AND SPECIES FROM THE EOCENE OF FLORIDA
Jul 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT-Oyenaster oblidus, Ocalaster timucum, and Ocalaster seloyi are new genera and species of the family Goniasteridae (Asteroidea) described from the Eocene Ocala Limestone of Florida. Although the fossil record of asteroids is sketchy, goniasterids appear to have been important ...
YANGTZIRAMULUS ZHANGI NEW GENUS AND SPECIES, A CARBONATE-HOSTED MACROFOSSIL FROM THE EDIACARAN DENGYING FORMATION IN THE YANGTZE GORGES AREA, SOUTH CHINA
Jul 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT-Very few macroscopic soft-bodied Ediacaran fossils are hosted in carbonates; most of them are preserved as casts and molds in siliciclastic rocks or as carbonaceous compressions in black shales. This taphonomic bias limits our capability to fully understand the diversity and ...
