Functional Micromorphology of the Echinoderm Skeleton - Przemyslaw (Polish Academy of Sciences) Gorzelak - Bog

The study of the stereom microstructure of extinct echinoderms can provide us with important paleobiological and paleoecological information. A wide array of investigating methods are available, and with the variety of types of stereom microarchitecture, each optimized for specific functions, there is great potential for new discoveries.
