, 1989 In the field of biomineralization the phylum Chordata is the most intensively studied, as one of its subphyla, the Craniata, includes our own species. The Craniata are often referred to as the vertebrates, a term that alludes to the importance of the endoskeleton in denning the essential character of these animals.

This chapter details the characteristics of the phylum Chordata. Unlike its subphylum Vertebrata, Chordata features the subphyla Cephalochordata and Urochordata as two subphylums whose members exist without backbones. Modern phylogenomic research shows that Urochordata is the sister group to Vertebrata, a clade known as Olfactores.

This chapter describes the taxonomy of Thaliacea, a class of the subphylum Tunicata encompassing pelagic organisms that, as all the other tunicates, have a body covered by a transparent cellulosic tunic. Thaliaceans are ubiquitous and they are common from coastal waters to the open ocean at all depths.
