چکیده
The stylonurid eurypterid Leiopterella tetliei Lamsdell, Braddy, Loeffler, and Dineley, 2010 (Chelicerata: Eurypterida: Rhenopteridae) from the Early Devonian (Lochkovian) of Nunavut in Arctic Canada is redescribed. Restudy holotype under polarized light revealed a labrum, epistomal sutures, prosomal appendage III, deltoid plates anterior to genital appendage. An additional new specimen preserves distal podomeres VI gradually tapering opisthosomal tergites. characters resolved here support hypothesis that L. was relatively basal within wider Stylonurina clade, with its postabdomen supporting more position Rhenopteridae than previously suggested.

متن کاملUnravelling the ontogeny of a Devonian early gnathostome, the “acanthodian” Triazeugacanthus affinis (eastern Canada)
The study of vertebrate ontogenies has the potential to inform us of shared developmental patterns and processes among organisms. However, fossilised ontogenies of early vertebrates are extremely rare during the Palaeozoic Era. A growth series of the Late Devonian "acanthodian" Triazeugacanthus affinis, from the Miguasha Fossil-Fish Lagerstätte, is identified as one of the best known early vert...
متن کاملOldest coelacanth, from the Early Devonian of Australia.
Coelacanths are well-known sarcopterygian (lobe-finned) fishes, which together with lungfishes are the closest extant relatives of land vertebrates (tetrapods). Coelacanths have both living representatives and a rich fossil record, but lack fossils older than the late Middle Devonian (385-390 Myr ago), conflicting with current phylogenies implying coelacanths diverged from other sarcopterygians...
