[...] minuscule corps de calcite fibreuse, en forme de bouton ou de massue, [...] isolé [...] [Les coccolithes] en s'associant, peuvent donner de petites masses sphériques appelées «Coccosphères».

CONT

Les coccolithes, si petits que leur étude fait appel au microscope électronique, sont les constituants fondamentaux de la craie.

CONT

La craie est fondamentalement formée de corpuscules calcaires, les Coccolithes, qui recouvraient de leur vivant de microscopiques Algues flagellées unicellulaires, les Coccolithophoridés. Les Coccolithes ne mesurent guère que quelques millièmes de millimètre (c'est ce qu'on appelle des nanofossiles), et sont observables au microscope électronique à balayage.

Record 5 2004-06-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Paleontology
CONT

Sclerites are calcareous bodies of diverse shape and form. They are highly modified paedomorphic structures, comparable in the adult holothurian to the larval spicules of its presumably fully plated ancestors. Nevertheless, they are of functional as well as phyletic importance. Some sclerites serve to reinforce the body wall, preventing its collapse, ... Curved rods surround the podia, overlapping to construct a flexible but semirigid appendage, and a sieve plate at the end of each tube foot supports its suction disk. ... A holothurian may have a single kind of sclerite or none, but an association of several types is usual.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Paléontologie
CONT

[Un] tissu conjonctif sous-cuticulaire [...] [de la paroi du corps d'un Holothuride] contient le squelette resté à l'état embryonnaire sous forme de plaques éparses, les sclérites, lesquels présentent une variété de formes extraordinaire.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
