Monopodial and Sympodial Growth Modes in the Colonial Graptolithina (Hemichordata, Pterobranchia). [PDF]
ABSTRACT Two growth modes are recognized in colonial pterobranchs (Graptolithina): monopodial growth and sympodial growth. The earliest colonial Graptolithina likely developed through monopodial growth, a mode of colony formation well‐documented in the extant graptolite Rhabdopleura normani.

AI-based graptolite identification improves shale gas exploration
Graptolites are fossils from the mid-Cambrian to lower Carboniferous periods that inform both our understanding of evolution and the exploration of shale gas [1–4]. The identification of graptolite species remains a visual task carried out by experienced

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
