Fossils from the Cincinnati area are renowned for their abundance, variety and ease of collecting. The animals that produced those fossils lived at the end of the Ordovician Period 450 million years ...

Researchers have carried out the first detailed study of the molecular mechanisms responsible for formation of the brachiopod shell. Comparison with shell synthesis in other groups reveals the deep ...

Blacksburg, Va. -- A study of fossils from the Paleozoic Era, collected across the world, reveals that ancient brachiopods were little bothered by predators. However, the rare predation traces left on ...

Imagine if there was protective clothing that usually stayed soft and comfortable, but that could instantly harden when needed. Such technology may someday be possible, thanks to a new understanding ...

The mechanism that allows a species of brachiopod to change its shell from rigid to soft and flexible has been revealed, bringing with it new possibilities in the field of material sciences. A recent ...
