The rangeomorph Pectinifrons abyssalis: Hydrodynamic function at the dawn of animal life

Summary: Rangeomorphs are among the oldest putative eumetazoans known from the fossil record. Establishing how they fed is thus key to understanding the structure and function of the earliest animal ecosystems. Here, we use computational fluid dynamics to test hypothesized feeding modes for the fenc...
