Paleonet: Fundamentals

[Wright, Davey]

Building on Dave's reply:


I can't see the chapter in the online version, but the table of contents for the chapter on "Echinoids" (= echinoderms) looks...unconventional. Hopefully the section on the "Echinoderm-Backbone Connection" is only provided for historical purposes.


Cheers,


-Davey

For those curious, the book that Andrzej is referring to is on Google
Books, located here:

https://books.google.com/books?id=pTygDQAAQBAJ&lpg=PR9&vq=211&dq=Fundamentals%20of%20Invertebrate%20Palaeontology&pg=PA211#v=snippet&q=211&f=false

...and yes, that opens the graptolite chapter, which looks kind of
mixed to my eye. Some stuff from new literature that I never see
discussed in textbooks, which is commendable, but then there's a lot
of inaccuracies, such as on Figure 7.3.

Cheers,
