The earliest ostracods: the geological evidence
Senckenbergiana lethaea, 2008 The oldest assumed ostracods appear in the fossil record from the TremadocianPaltodus deltifer conodont Biozone. Although geographically widespread these early ostracods have no obvious Cambrian antecedents. Their first appearance at ca. 485 Ma contrasts with molecular evidence that suggests a much earlier (latest Proterozoic or Cambrian) origin for ...

Senckenbergiana lethaea, 2008 The attribute traditionally used to recognise the occurrence of ostracods in the Palaeozoic stratigraphic record has in essence been the presence of a bivalved arthropod carapace of small size. Discoveries offering unparalleled insight into the soft part palaeobiology of tiny bivalved Palaeozoic arthropods, when taken together with the notion that a ...

Extraordinary morphological changes in valve morphology during the ontogeny of several species of the Australian ostracod genus Bennelongia (Crustacea, Ostracoda) [PDF]
, 2013 Ostracods belonging to the genus Bennelongia differ much in valve morphology between adults and juveniles. Adult valves are asymmetrical, characterised by a beak-like feature in the anteroventral region of the left valve, and, with some notable ...

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 83-102., 2021 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.
