Insights into a 429-million-year-old compound eye
In all arthropods the plesiomorphic (ancestral character state) kind of visual system commonly is considered to be the compound eye. Here we are able to show the excellently preserved internal structures of the compound eye of a 429 Mya old Silurian ...

Palaeozoic correlations and the Palaeogeography of the Sibumasu (Shan-Thai) Terrane - a brief review [PDF]
Furongian sandstones yield shallow-water trilobite faunas along the length of the Sibumasu Terrane in the four regions of NW Malaysia (Langkawi), southern Thailand (Satun), the Shan States of Myanmar and the Baoshan Block of western Yunnan.

Exceptionally preserved Cambrian trilobite digestive system revealed in 3D by synchrotron-radiation X-ray tomographic microscopy. [PDF]
The Cambrian 'Orsten' fauna comprises exceptionally preserved and phosphatised microscopic arthropods. The external morphology of these fossils is well known, but their internal soft-tissue anatomy has remained virtually unknown.

ABSTRACT Filamentous, anastomosing spar‐filled networks in Phanerozoic carbonates have been interpreted as the mineralised remains of keratose (non‐spiculate) sponges, yet their recognition remains contested because fabrics of broadly similar appearance may arise from microbial, diagenetic or physical processes. This study combines direct fossil–modern

Chronostratigraphic Subdivision of the Cambrian of China
The chronostratigraphic framework for the Cambrian of South China is reviewed. Currently four series and nine stages are recognized. The Cambrian of South China is subdivided into one pre-trilobite-bearing series, the Diandongian Series, and three ...

The potential functions of mechanoreceptors found on trilobite larva of Limulus polyphemus (Linnaeus, 1758) [PDF]
In this study trilobite larvae and early juvenile stages of Limulus polyphemus (Linnaeus, 1758) are examined using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy to examine the mechanoreceptors present on the cuticle.

Micrometer analysis of millimeter lines of Raman spectra concludes in the association of anatase and graphitized organic matter (graphogen). The photosynthetic microorganisms at the origin of the microbialites produce O2, which is transformed by TiO2 into reactive species that, in turn, decompose the organic matter of the microorganisms. ABSTRACT Raman

Micropollutants and the Restructuring of Microbial Resilience in the Anthropocene
Conceptual framework linking anthropogenic chemical complexity to the restructuring of microbial resilience in the Anthropocene. Persistent, low‐dose chemical mixtures can reorganize microbial coordination networks, regulatory and metabolic processes, and ecological memory, thereby altering functional redundancy, adaptive capacity, and disturbance ...

V.—On the Structure of Trilobites [PDF]
In the Geological Magazine for July, 1871, Plate VIII. pp. 289–294, I published an article on the above subject, giving my views of the appendages of Trilobites, and reproducing the figure of Asaphus platycephalus, Stokes, showing traces of eight pairs of locomotory appendages, discovered by Mr.

Abstract The collisional evolution of the micro‐blocks in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau is relatively well constrained. However, the reason why a fragment of the North China Block, the Olongbuluke Block, became separated from North China by the Central Qilian Block (a fragment of the South China Block) remains unclear.
