SHELL MICROSTRUCTURES IN LOPINGIAN BRACHIOPODS: IMPLICATIONS FOR FABRIC EVOLUTION AND CALCIFICATION

SHELL MICROSTRUCTURES IN LOPINGIAN BRACHIOPODS: IMPLICATIONS FOR FABRIC EVOLUTION AND CALCIFICATION

The study of the shell microstructure of brachiopods is fundamental to understand their evolutionary history and their biomineralization process. Here, species of forty Lopingian brachiopods genera, representative of twenty-seven different families, are investigated using the Scanning Electron Micro...
