Phylum Brachiopoda, shelled marine invertebrates, is currently represented by about 400 extant species; a tiny fraction of the ca. 30,000 described fossil species (Emig et al. 2013; Bitner 2014; Nauendorf Logan 2015). Only twenty these Recent are known from Chilean coasts (Lee 2008), most them subtidal waters. Of these, only Magellania venosa (Dixon, 1789) (the largest brachiopod) and Discinisca lamellosa (Broderip, 1833) common found in southern central-northern country, respectively. As...
Abstract Biological hard tissues are a rich source of design concepts for the generation advanced materials. They represent most important library information on evolution life and its environmental conditions. Organisms produce soft in bottom-up process, construction principle that is intrinsic to biologically secreted This process emerged early geological record, with onset biological mineralization. The phylum Brachiopoda marine animal group has an excellent continuous fossil record from...
Strontium isotopes of marine archives provide a significant means for tracing physical and chemical processes operating over geologic time. Modern articulated brachiopods halite samples were collected from all depths the world’s main water bodies. Material Arctic, North South Atlantic, Pacific, Indian Southern oceans, as well Caribbean Mediterranean seas baseline parameters diagenetic screening reconstruction seawater curves. The Sr isotopic ratio modern is unobscured by latitude, depth,...
Nineteen genera of Recent brachiopods, i.e. Discradisca Stenzel, 1964, Novocrania Lee & Brunton, 2001, Basiliola Dall, 1908, Cryptopora Jeffreys, 1869, Gryphus Megerle von Mühlfeldt, 1811, Dallithyris Muir-Wood, 1959, Stenosarina Cooper, 1977, Xenobrochus 1981, Terebratulina d'Orbigny, 1847, Chlidonophora 1903, Eucalathis Fischer Oehlert, 1890, Macandrevia King, 1859, Frenulina 1895, Jolonica 1920, Argyrotheca 1900, Phaneropora Zezina, Nipponithyris Yabe Hatai, 1934, Megerlia 1850 and...
Three brachiopod species, Terebratulina tenuistriata (Leymerie, 1846), Argyrotheca vidali (Mallada, 1878), and "Terebratula" n. sp., are recognized in the marls calcareous silts of Lower Eocene Puebla Formation Campo region Central Pyrenees, north-eastern Spain. The rich well preserved material T. A. allows to recognize range their morphological variability evaluate status earlier established species. investigated assemblage is characterized by small, pedunculate taxa adapted life on a soft...
The number of living brachiopod genera and species recorded to date, are 116 391, respectively. phylum Brachiopoda is divided into three subphyla: Linguliformea, Craniiformea Rhynchonelliformea. Although they were extremely common throughout the Paleozoic, today considered a minor phylum, only five orders have extant representatives: Lingulida, with two families, 6 25 species; Craniida, one family, 3 18 Rhynchonellida, 19 39 Thecideida, 22 Terebratulida, 82 genera, 287 species.
Recent and fossil brachiopod shells have a long record as biomineral archives for (palaeo)climatic and (palaeo)environmental reconstructions, they lack or exhibit limited vital effects in their calcite shell generally are quite resistant to diagenetic alteration. Despite this, only few studies address the issue of identifying best optimal part geochemical analyses. We investigated link between ontogeny signatures recorded different parts shell. To reach this aim, we analysed elemental (Ca,...
We present a systematic study of late Paleocene macrofauna from methane seep carbonates and associated driftwood in the shallow marine Basilika Formation, Spitsbergen, Svalbard.The fauna is composed 22 taxa, comprising one brachiopod, 14 bivalves, three gastropods, crustaceans, bony fish.The reported fish remains are among first vertebrate body fossils Paleogene Spitsbergen.One genus new: munidid decapod Valamunida Klompmaker Robins gen.nov.Four new species described: terebratulide...
As a potential anti-predatory defensive structure, the shell ornamentation of marine calcifiers is usually used to understand macro coevolution interactions between predators and preys. Marine calcifiers' complexity generally believed vary negatively with latitude water depth. In this paper, we explored association latitude/bathymetry using latest global database living brachiopods. We found that (1) ~59% brachiopods species are characterized by smooth shells (2) there no statistically...
The fossil record holds a wealth of ecological data, including data on biotic interactions. For example, holes in the skeletons invertebrates produced by drilling activities their enemies are widely used for exploring intensity such interactions through time because they common and easily distinguished from non‐biotic or other types Such drill have been described numerous studies Palaeozoic brachiopods but rarely those focusing post‐Palaeozoic, striking pattern given that late Mesozoic...
Twelve species of recent brachiopods belonging to the genera Lingula, Discradisca, Novocrania, Xenobrochus, Eucalathis, Frenulina, Argyrotheca, Campages, Thecidellina and Lacazella were identified in samples collected during shallow-water cruises around New Caledonia, southwest Pacific. Six genera, Campages Thecidellina, have been already reported from Caledonian region, while four Argyrotheca are first records this region. Additionally, Discradisca stella is discinid brachiopod recognized...
Twenty-two brachiopod species belonging to 19 genera have been recognized in the material collected during two cruises, Norfolk 1 and 2, Ridge south of New Caledonia, at depths 180 1150 m. Thirteen are reported for first time from this locality, while four genera, Aulites, Septicollarina, Annuloplatidia Campages, noted Caledonian region. Thecidellina minuta is recorded Pacific. Four new described ― Cryptopora norfolkensis sp. nov., Aulites crosnieri Septicollarina zezinae nov. richeri The...
The ability to see and understand the three-dimensional structure of an investigated object plays a key role in studying fossil remains. All living organisms are formed three-dimensions, but unfortunately fossilization processes often reduce overall shape, making it difficult gather information about real appearance, functionality, inner structure. Here, using specimen brachiopod Tere bratula terebratula we demonstrate non-destructive technique for exploring 3-D internal use tomography...
Rhynchonellida is the stratigraphically oldest and phylogenetically most basal of extant rhynchonelliform brachiopod orders, yet phylogenetic relationships among rhynchonellides are poorly known. The fourteen named rhynchonellide superfamilies (four which have representatives) were defined primarily on basis features dorsal cardinalia, particularly crural morphology, but their homology polarity not been investigated rigorously. Superfamily monophyly unclear, as evolution several distinctive...
