A 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 کاملThe 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 425-Million-Year-Old Silurian Pentastomid Parasitic on Ostracods
Pentastomids (tongue worms) are worm-like arthropods known today from ∼140 species [1]. All but four are parasitic on vertebrates. Their life cycle typically involves larval development in an intermediate host followed by maturation in the respiratory tract of a definitive terrestrial host. Fossil pentastomids are exceedingly rare and are known only from isolated juveniles [2-6]. The identity o...
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...
متن کاملA Silurian short-great-appendage arthropod
A new arthropod, Enalikter aphson gen. et sp. nov., is described from the Silurian (Wenlock Series) Herefordshire Lagerstätte of the UK. It belongs to the Megacheira (=short-great-appendage group), which is recognized here, for the first time, in strata younger than mid-Cambrian age. Discovery of this new Silurian taxon allows us to identify a Devonian megacheiran representative, Bundenbachiell...
