  1. 1. Origin and Lifestyles of early Brachiopods and other Lophotrochozoans : Insights from the Chengjiang and Guanshan Fossil-Lagerstätten

    Författare :Haizhou Wang; Lars E. Holmer; Zhifei Zhang; Michael Streng; David A.T. Harper; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cambrian Explosion; Chengjiang; Guanshan; Lagerstätten; Lophotrochozoa; Brachiopoda; Earth Science with specialization in Historical Geology and Palaeontology; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot historisk geologi och paleontologi;

    Sammanfattning : One of the great unsolved evolutionary questions concerns the origin and phylogeny of the major animal phyla that appeared in the fossil record more than 540 million years ago, during the Cambrian explosion. Although new molecular information has been very useful, we still have little understanding about the origin of most of the phyla of bilaterians living today. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Preservation of Marine Reptile Soft Parts: Reconstructing the Life and Death of Ancient Leviathans

    Författare :Randolph De La Garza; Berggrundsgeologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular paleontology; Taphonomy; Soft-tissues; Lagerstätten; Skin; Sea Turtle; Ichthyosaur; Fur Formation; Posidonia Shale; Paleobiology; Marine Reptiles;

    Sammanfattning : Marine reptiles constitute a diverse group of secondarily aquatic tetrapods that have inhabited the world’s oceans for the greater part of the last 250 million years. While certain large-scale anatomical changes have been observed through progressive alterations of their skeletal morphology (e.g. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Exceptionally Preserved Cambrian Lophotrochozoa : Taxonomy, Systematics and Taphonomy of Chengjiang and Indian Springs Lophophorates

    Författare :Aodhán D. Butler; Michael Streng; Lars E. Holmer; Christian Skovsted; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Brachiopoda; Chengjiang; Lagerstätte; Cambrian Explosion; palaeobiology; stem-group; entoproct; phoronid; tommotiid; exceptional preservation.; Earth Science with specialization in Historical Geology and Palaeontology; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot historisk geologi och paleontologi;

    Sammanfattning : The origin and evolution of Lophotrochozoa can be traced to the plethora of lower Cambrian scleritome taxa.  We aim to determine the character suites linking these stem-Lophotrochozoa to their extant crown relatives, in particular the small shelly tommotiids and the stem-group brachiopods.

  5. 4. Evolution and taxonomy of Cambrian arthropods from Greenland and Sweden

    Författare :Martin Stein; John S. Peel; Dieter Waloszek; David J. Siveter; Reinhardt M. Kristensen; David L. Bruton; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cambrian; Arthropods; Trilobites; Evolution; Greenland; Sweden; Historical geology and palaeontology; Historisk geologi och paleontologi;

    Sammanfattning : Arthropods have a rich fossil record spanning the Phanerozoic. Biomineralized forms such as the extinct trilobites are particularly common and are proven index fossils for biostratigraphy. Forms with an unmineralized cuticle are more rare, preserved only in so called konservat lagerstätten. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Who ate whom? Paleoecology revealed through synchrotron microtomography of coprolites (fossil feces)

    Författare :Martin Qvarnström; Živilė Žigaitė; Grzegorz Niedźwiedzki; Per Ahlberg; Karen Chin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; coprolites; paleoecology; synchrotron microtomography; taphonomy; Triassic; Biologi; Biology;

    Sammanfattning : Fossil droppings, known as coprolites, are being increasingly recognized as a valuable source of paleoecological information with special regard to diets, parasitism, and physiology of extinct taxa. Here, it is suggested that the excellent preservation and amount of inclusions in the coprolites (e.g. LÄS MER
