Early post-metamorphic, Carboniferous blastoid reveals the evolution and development of the digestive system in echinoderms
Inferring the development of the earliest echinoderms is critical to uncovering the evolutionary assembly of the phylum-level body plan but has long proven problematic because early ontogenetic stages are rarely preserved as fossils. Here, we use synchrotron tomography to describe a new early post-m...
