Ventral view of Mucrospirifer, a fossil brachiopod, showing the characteristically wing-like shell. This Devonian specimen from Ohio is 3.5cm wide. Brachiopod hard parts have excellent preservation ...

Researchers have carried out the first detailed study of the molecular mechanisms responsible for formation of the brachiopod shell. Comparison with shell synthesis in other groups reveals the deep ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The Eids Formation of southwestern Ellesmere Island yielded a brachiopod fauna comprising 22 genera and 28 species. The brachiopod faunas vary ...

Fossils from the Cincinnati area are renowned for their abundance, variety and ease of collecting. The animals that produced those fossils lived at the end of the Ordovician Period 450 million years ...

Two new species of Isogramma, an unusual Pennsylvanian brachiopod genus, are described. One species, I. renfrarum, was pieced together from loose fragments and proves to be the largest species of the ...

The mechanism that allows a species of brachiopod to change its shell from rigid to soft and flexible has been revealed, bringing with it new possibilities in the field of material sciences. A recent ...

From the perspective of a legacy-seeking critter deep in Earth’s history, there's little chance of you hitting the big time. The odds of getting fossilized are low enough. You need to die in the right ...

Researchers of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have carried out the first detailed study of the molecular mechanisms responsible for formation of the brachiopod shell. Comparison with ...
