An Early Cambrian Radula
@inproceedings{Butterfield2008AnEC, title={An Early Cambrian Radula}, author={N. Butterfield}, year={2008} }
Abstract Microscopic teeth isolated from the early Cambrian Mahto Formation, Alberta, Canada, are identified as components of a molluscan radula, the oldest on record. Tooth-rows are polystichous and lack a medial rachidian tooth-column. Anterior-posterior differences in tooth-row morphology are interpreted as ontogenetic and correspond broadly to the diversity of isolated teeth, some of which correspond closely with those of extant aplacophoran molluscs. Associated pock-marked cuticular… CONTINUE READING
