  • Shell Microstructures in Early Cambrian Molluscs

    Shell Microstructures in Early Cambrian Molluscs

    Shell microstructures in Early Cambrian molluscs ARTEM KOUCHINSKY Kouchinsky, A. 2000. Shell microstructures in Early Cambrian molluscs. - Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 45,2, 119-150. The affinities of a considerable part of the earliest skeletal fossils are problematical, but investigation of their microstructures may be useful for understanding biomineralization mechanisms in early metazoans and helpful for their taxonomy. The skeletons of Early Cambrian mollusc-like organisms increased by marginal secretion of new growth lamel- lae or sclerites, the recognized basal elements of which were fibers of apparently aragon- ite. The juvenile part of some composite shells consisted of needle-like sclerites; the adult part was built of hollow leaf-like sclerites. A layer of mineralized prism-like units (low aragonitic prisms or flattened spherulites) surrounded by an organic matrix possibly existed in most of the shells with continuous walls. The distribution of initial points of the prism-like units on a periostracurn-like sheet and their growth rate were mostly regular. The units may be replicated on the surface of internal molds as shallow concave poly- gons, which may contain a more or less well-expressed tubercle in their center. Tubercles are often not enclosed in concave polygons and may co-occur with other types of tex- tures. Convex polygons seem to have resulted from decalcification of prism-like units. They do not co-occur with tubercles. The latter are interpreted as casts of pore channels in the wall possibly playing a role in biomineralization or pits serving as attachment sites of groups of mantle cells. Casts of fibers and/or lamellar units may overlap a polygonal tex- ture or occur without it.
  • Species Fact Sheet with Juga Hemphilli Hemphilli

    Species Fact Sheet with Juga Hemphilli Hemphilli

    SPECIES FACT SHEET Scientific Name: Juga hemphilli hemphilli (Henderson 1935) Common Name: barren juga Phylum: Mollusca Class: Gastropoda Order: Neotaenioglossa Family: Semisulcospiridae Taxonomic Note: Past genetic analysis by Lee et al. (2006) based on incorrectly identified museum voucher specimens suggested reassignment of the related subspecies Juga hemphilli dallesensis (and therefore the Juga hemphilli conspecifics, including Juga hemphilli hemphilli) to the genus Elimia. However, Foighil et al. (2009) conducted an additional analysis and determined that Juga hemphilli is indeed most closely related to other western Juga and should not be reassigned to the genus Elimia. Turgeon et al. (1998) do not recognize any subspecies of Juga hemphilli. Conservation Status: Global Status: G2T1 (May 2009) National Status: United States (N1) (June 2000) State Statuses: Oregon (S1), Wahington (S1) (NatureServe 2015) IUCN Red List: NE – Not evaluated Technical Description: This subspecies was originally described as Goniobasis hemphilli hemphilli (Henderson 1935). Burch (1982; 1989) revised this subspecies to the genus Juga to reflect the distribution of taxa west of the Continental Divide. Adult: Juga is a genus of medium-sized, aquatic, gilled snails traditionally treated as part of the subfamily Semisulcospirinae within the Pleuroceridae family, although the Semisulcospirinae subfamily was recently elevated to family level based on morphological and molecular evidence (Strong and Köhler 2009). The Pleuroceridae and Semisulcospiridae families both differ from the Hydrobiidae family in that the males lack a verge (male copulatory organ). The genus Juga is distinct from related pleurocerid snails based on reproductive anatomy and egg mass characters (Taylor 1966), as well as features of the ovipositor pore, radula, midgut, kidney, and pallial gonoduct (Strong and Frest 2007).

Age, Growth, Size at Sexual Maturity and Reproductive Biology of Channeled Whelk, Busycotypus canaliculatus, in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic Final Report for the Virginia Fishery Resource Grant Program Project 2009-12 Abstract The channeled whelk, Busycotypus canaliculatus, was habitats, though mixing is observed inshore along shallow sampled from three in-shore commercially harvested waters of continental shelf. Channeled whelks are the resource areas in the US Mid-Atlantic: off Ocean City, focus of commercial fisheries throughout their range (Davis Maryland (OC); Eastern Shore of Virginia (ES); and and Sisson 1988, DiCosimo 1988, Bruce 2006, Fisher and Virginia Beach, Virginia (VB).

This species occurs Shells of Buccinid ae tend to be simple, and offer few in upper continental slope communities (183- 578 m) of the readily discernible morphological characters. These are Caribbean Sea and the northern coast of South America . The subject to convergence, especia lly in polar regions and holotype was collected dead in 2,633 rn, well below the depth the deep sea, where effects of habitat on shell form are inhabited by this species.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.
