Fossils explained 54
Plesiosaurs may be divided into two general morphotypes, based on body shape. ‘Pliosauromorphs’ have a large head and a short neck—traditionally thought to be pliosaurs, while ‘plesiosauromorphs’ have a small head and long neck, and have been seen as plesiosauroids. This is in fact an oversimplification, and today, detailed analysis and investigations of plesiosaur anatomy suggest that these mo...
متن کاملFossils and plant phylogeny.
Developing a detailed estimate of plant phylogeny is the key first step toward a more sophisticated and particularized understanding of plant evolution. At many levels in the hierarchy of plant life, it will be impossible to develop an adequate understanding of plant phylogeny without taking into account the additional diversity provided by fossil plants. This is especially the case for relativ...
متن کاملCoralline Algal Microatolls near Cozumel Island, Mexico
Microatolls of coralline algal encrustations were discovered during a reconnaissance study of environments around Cozurnel Island, 14 miles off the northeast coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. Onehundred-sixteen of them were counted in one small area along the northeastern shore in a belt approximately 100 feet wide, 150 yards offshore, and parallel to shore. The microatolls are roughly circular w...
متن کاملAcidophilic Collembola: living fossils?
The existence of two groups of acidophilic (mostly present in soils at pH less than 5) and acidintolerant Collembolan species has been demonstrated concurrently by several authors in the course of biocoenotic studies. The examination of morphological features points to a strong relationship between acidophily and hypothetical phyletic relationships between both groups. In the light of Earth his...
