Dicranophyllales

Reconstruction of Dicranophyllum hallei, from here.


Belongs within: Coniferophyta.

The Dicranophyllales are a group of arborescent plants known from the Carboniferous and Permian, possibly related to modern coniferophytes. They are defined by the having stomata confined to sunken furrows on the abaxial side of the leaf (Rothwell & Mapes 2001).

Miroviaceae

Preserved leaf sections of Mirovia gothanii, from Gomez (2002).


Belongs within: Pinopsida.

The Miroviaceae is an extinct group of conifers known from the mid-Jurassic to the Late Cretaceous, with linear leaves similar in appearance to the modern umbrella pine Sciadopitys verticillata. They differ from modern conifers in having the closely placed stomata restricted to a sunken groove with a protruding margin on the abaxial side of the leaf (Gomez 2002).

Cricoconarida

Nowakia acuaria, from the Czech Geological Survey.


Belongs within: Mollusca.

The Cricoconarida, tentaculitids and related taxa, are a group of small, conical shells of uncertain affinities known from the Lower Ordovician to the Upper Devonian. Cricoconarid shells are narrow and straight, and bear transverse rings, ringlets and striae. They may be divided between the Tentaculitida, in which the embryonic part of the shell is bluntly pointed and conical, and the Dacryoconarida with a demarcated teardrop-shaped embryonic chamber (Fisher 1962).

Sabellida

Peacock worms Sabella pavonina, copyright Sue Daly.


Belongs within: Annelida.
Contains: Spionida, Serpulidae.

The Sabellida are a group of marine annelids characterised by fusion of the peristomium to the prostomium, together with the usual presence of numerous head appendages such as feeding tentacles. Molecular phylogenetic analyses have indicated that this group includes the Pogonophora, beard worms, whose derived morphology had previously lead to them being treated as a distinct phylum from annelids. Pogonophorans lack a mouth or digestive tract, instead absorbing nutrients directly through the outer cuticle or from endosymbiotic bacteria contained in the rear part of the body.

Hydroides

Hydroides elegans, copyright Brian Nedved.


Belongs within: Serpulidae.

Hydroides is a genus of serpulid tubeworms characterised in most species by the presence of a two-tier operculum, composed of a proximal funnel and superimposed verticil. Funnel radii generally have simple blunt to pointed marginal teeth (occasionally more elaborate); the verticil usually consists of a number of long spines (ten Hove & Ben-Eliahu 2005).

Rotularia

Rotularia bognoriensis, from here.


Belongs within: Serpulidae.

Rotularia is a genus of helically coiled tubeworms known from the Upper Cretaceous to the Eocene (Howell 1962).

Caracters (from Howell 1962): Tube helically coiled, with same diameter throught most of length, ending at apertural end in restricted tube of smaller diameter; restricted portion (and occasionally part of unrestricted tube posterior to it) extending tangentially from coiled portion; posterior end of tube usually attached to substratum; outer surface of tube smooth or concentrically wrinkled; one or two longitudinal keels occasionally present.

Ramphoprionidae

Reconstructed jaw apparatus of Ramphoprion elongatus, from Eriksson (2002).


Belongs within: Aciculata.

The Ramphoprionidae are a group of annelid worms known from the Ordovician and Silurian periods from their fossilised jaws only.

Characters (from Eriksson 2002): Maxillary apparatus asymmetrical; one pair of dorsally flattened, subrectangular carriers present posteriorly, followed by one pair of strongly asymmetrical first maxillae with denticulated dorsal side and slightly enclosed myocoele; short, subrectangular or subtrapezoid basal plate fitted into bight of right first maxilla; left first maxilla and basal plate both with wide transverse posterior margin; anterior maxillae (MII to MIV known) somewhat sickle-shaped with rounded anterior margin; lateral teeth present; laeobasal plate and intercalary tooth absent.
