Cards

Term
Internal Mold
Definition
are imprints of the inside of the shell in the rock.
Term
External Mold
Definition
are imprints of the outside of the shell in the rock.
Term
Cast
Definition
A replica of an object such as a shell or bone formed with a mold of hat object is filled by sediment or minerals.
Term
Phyla
Definition
vertebrata, invertebrata, chordata, echinodermata, lophophorate, arthropoda, mollusca, annedlida, worms, cnidaria, porifera.
Term
Vertebrata/Invertebrata
Definition
Includes Chordata, which have a notochord, dorsal hollow nerve cord, and gill slits at some time during their life cycle. May or may not have a vertebrate.
Term
Echinodermata
Definition
starfish, sea urchin, sea cucumber.
Term
Lophophorate
Definition
Superphylum: brachiopoda (lamp shells), bryozoa (moss animals) phoronids
Term
Arthropoda
Definition
insects, spiders, and crabs
Term
mollusca
Definition
clams, snails, squid, tusks, and chitons
Term
annelida
Definition
segmented worms
Term
worms
Definition
many parasites
Term
Cnidaria
Definition
hydra, corals, jellyfish, sea anemones
Term
porifera
Definition
sponges
Term
Deuterostomes
Definition
vertebrata/invertebrata-chordata, echinodermata, lophophorate
Term
protostomes
Definition
arthropoda, mollusca, annelida, worms, cnidaria, porifera
Term
Fossilization types (14)
Definition
internal mold, external mold, casts, trace, recrystallized, unaltered skeleton, carbonized, pseudofossil, petrification, chemical alteration, coprolite, argonite to calcite, body fossil, burrow
Term
Body Fossils-unaltered
Definition
freezing, mummification, preservation in amber, preservationin tar
Term
body fossils-altered
Definition
permineralization, recyrstallization, replacement, carbonization
Term
Trace fossils
Definition
tracks, trails, burrows, boring, coprolite, gastroliths, rootmarks
Term
carbonization
Definition
volatile elements lost from organic matter leaving a carbon film, most common for leaves and insects
Term
recrystallization
Definition
change in the crystal structure: for examle pyrite replaces calcium carbonate of shells
Term
argonite to calcite
Definition
Aragonite shells of clams, snails, or scleractinian corals may be preserved unaltered in Cenozoic deposits, but they are generally dissolved or recrystallized in older deposits. This is because aragonite is more soluble than calcite, and because aragonite is metastable, and in time recrystallizes to calcite.
Term
Symmetry types
Definition
radial and spiral
Term
Spiral Symmetry
Definition
In some embryos, the daughter blastomeres are not direclty over or beside each other. They are tilted to the left or right 45 degrees. This latter cleavage symmetry is said to be spiral.
Term
Radial Symmetry
Definition
In some embryos, the daughter blastomeres are either above or to the side of each other. This is said to be radial-type symmetry
Term
Protostome
Definition
molusks, anelieds, arthropoda. concaves like a horseshoe, anus first
Term
Deuterostomes
Definition
Chordata, echinoderms, cat shaped-ish concave, mouth first, then anus. twins possible
Term
determinate vs indeterminate
Definition
determinate grows then dies like natural fruits, indeterminate grows and grows like a vine and reproduces asexually and doesn't die until frost comes.
Term
Rib info/activity
Definition
Created bell curve graphs for rib numbers and how they deal with change in species in scallops. If the two means overlap, same species. If they do not, different species.
Term
Clam shell parts
Definition
beak, ligament dorsal, cardinal teeth, muscle scars, pallial sinus, pallialline, anterior, ventral, crenulate inner margin, lunule (clit), beaks, escutcheon (vagina) posterior is bottom
Term
importance of symmetry
Definition
depends if the shell can close completely or not to save animal from predators
