Palaeobiology of cryptic fauna beneath early Sheinwoodian (Silurian) stromatoporoids from Saaremaa, Estonia

摘要

Cryptic surfaces beneath early Sheinwoodian stromatoporoids from Saaremaa (Mustjala Member) were sparsely encrusted (4% in average of encrusted surface areas) by sheet-like bryozoans, ribbon-like bryozoans, cornulitids (Cornulites sp. and Conchicolites sp.), Palaeoconchus sp. (Microconchida), Aulopora sp. and a crinoid. The community is numerically dominated by bryozoans (38.1%) and microconchids (36.4%). The majority of the encrusted area is covered by bryozoans (94.5%). Endolithic organisms were represented by Trypanites borings.View full textDownload full textKeywordscryptic habitats, stromatoporoids, bryozoans, microconchids, Sheinwoodian, EstoniaRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true,"ui_click":true}; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/11035897.2012.756927
