Color pattern on the Carboniferous bivalve Streblochondria? Newell
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 September 2016
Abstract
This report describes a previously unknown chevron color pattern preserved on the Carboniferous bivalve Streblochondria? and discusses the significance of color patterns on Paleozoic bivalves as a group. Analysis of Paleozoic color pattern distribution suggests that the appearance of predators in the Devonian may have influenced preferential evolutionary selection for the development of color patterns in bivalves.
