Re: Fossils B/C
I think it's safer to assume that it had one and it was natant because if it didn't I feel like that would be very distinctive and would come up often in searches. I'm guessing the fenestrae aided with filtering the water but particles still went past the hypostome on the way into the digestive system.dchen22 wrote:I would assume the same but I couldn’t find any sources and because Cryptolithus filter-fed with its fenestrae, it might not even have had a hypostome?wec01 wrote:I don't know for sure, but I would assume Cryptolithus was natant and Eldredgeops was conterminent.

Re: Fossils B/C
If you have conflicting taxonomy information, you'll want to try to figure out where the controversy comes from and note the different possible names in your binder.hmmm wrote:Is Astraeospongia class Heteractinida or Calcarea?
The websites I found disagree.

Re: Fossils B/C
Taxonomy is dumb and flawed. the wiki here has Heteractinida. I'd trust that, since it's written by fellow science geeks who probably know their stuff.hmmm wrote:Is Astraeospongia class Heteractinida or Calcarea?

Re: Fossils B/C
Heteractinida isn't a class though, at least according to Wikipedia. I wouldn't say taxonomy is necessarily dumb and flawed, just that it's incredibly difficult to put organisms that only existed million years of ago into definite groups—it's difficult to even tell if two specimens belong to the same species!BennyTheJett wrote:Taxonomy is dumb and flawed. the wiki here has Heteractinida.

Re: Fossils B/C
Clades. I rest my case. Also, idk (not good at fossils), but you are right. Since it's a grade i'd go with the other one lmao.

I have it listed as class Calcarea and order Heteractinida.hmmm wrote:Is Astraeospongia class Heteractinida or Calcarea?

Re: Fossils B/C
How do you differentiate Carcharodon,Carcharocles, Megalodon,and Selachimorpha, especially given that some are subsets of another?

Re: Fossils B/C
Carcharodon, Carcharocles, and C. megalodon are all members of Superorder Selachimorpha (sharks). Carcharocles has four-ish species, one of which is C. megalodon. Differences between Carcharodon and Carcharocles include the teeth and the relative sizes.hmmm wrote:How do you differentiate Carcharodon,Carcharocles, Megalodon,and Selachimorpha, especially given that some are subsets of another?
I'm somewhat unsure about what you're asking though—you don't differentiate between birds and chickens, do you? It doesn't really make sense to differentiate between Superorder Selachimorpha and Genus Carcharodon or Genus Carcharocles and C. megalodon.
