Among the shells of invertebrates that exhibit spiral growth, differences in form can be expressed by differences in geometric parameters. If three parameters are considered at a time, the spectrum of possible shell forms may be shown by a block diagram. Analog and digital computer constructions make it possible to visualize shell forms that are…

Because of fundamental differences between trace fossils and body fossils, ichnologic nomenclature is beset with difficulties. Foremost is inconsistent treatment by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (lack of sanction for post-1930 names, confusion over the rule of priority) and inadequate curation of type specimens. However, ichnologists have contributed their own problems via inadequate diagnoses…
Thirty new species, representing 24 new genera, of green algae, blue-green algae, colonial bacteria, fungus-like filaments, and possible pyrrophytes, are described from the bedded carbonaceous cherts of the late Precambrian Bitter Springs formation, Ross river area, central Australia. Chemical data and petrologic evidence indicate that the organisms are geochemically altered but are morphologically intact. The…
We present a rank-free phylogenetic nomenclature for 25 well-established ancient clades of living turtles. This is the first attempt to document fully the nomenclatural history of a clade with the intent of proposing a coherent nomenclatural system to replace the traditional rank-based nomenclature. Because of the imperative to retain connectivity to the literature for information…
A probabilistic index of faunal similarity is proposed which compares the number of taxa common to two faunas with the number that would be expected to be in common if the taxa were distributed randomly. Departures of observed from expected numbers in common express the level of similarity or dissimilarity. The frequency of taxa in…
