Biology:Hippopharangites
From HandWiki
Hippopharangites is a genus of sachitid.
Description
Hippopharangites is a form genus of triangular sclerite.[1][2] Hippopharangites sclerites have a broad central cavity and small pores opening through the shell wall, equivalent to the lateral chambers of other halkieriids (and the aesthete canals of Chitons?)[3] As the animals grew, the shell plates grew by adding material to the outer edges.[4]
Significance
This genus is the closest in form to Chancelloriid sclerites, and is thus used to support the union of halkieriids and chancelloriids as Coeloscleritophora.[5]
