Although the fossil record of annelids in general is poor, calcareous tube-building
Serpulidae are a notable exception. The" stumbling block" of understanding the serpulid …

This report is the first part of a series of papers that provide an overview of tube morphology,
mineralogy, and ultrastructures within the subfamily Spirorbinae, including the discussion of …

Seaweeds are key species of the Baltic Sea benthic ecosystems. They are the substratum of
numerous fouling epibionts like bryozoans and tubeworms. Several of these epibionts bear …

Although the walls of most serpulid tubes are homogeneous, tubes of certain species may
contain up to four ultrastructurally distinct layers. Some of these layers are made of densely …

Serpula vermicularis, as with many other serpulid species, is normally found as separate
individual tubes. A limited number of exceptions to this have been recorded where S …

Fossils of two new species of small, dextrally coiled polychaetes, Neodexiospira ferlinghettii
and Neodexiospira vanslykei from Eocene strata in the Black Hills southwest of Olympia …

The ultrastructural diversity of the Middle and Late Jurassic serpulid tubes from the Polish
Basin has been investigated. The inspection of 12 taxa representing the two major serpulid …

Serpulids typically build cylindrical calcareous tubes attached to hard substrates. Until now,
only three serpulid species inhabiting free-lying polygonal tubes were reported from the …

This is the second paper of the series started with Ippolitov and Rzhavsky (2014) providing
detailed descriptions of recent spirorbin tubes, their mineralogy and ultrastructures. Here we …

The serpulid tube worm Laqueoserpula reussi (Weinzettl, 1910), originally introduced as a
gastropod named Burtinella (?) reussi, is described from the Upper Cenomanian and Lower …
