Pathologies of Devonian Conodont Elements of the Voronezh Anteclise

详细

Pathological phenomena in Devonian conodonts are separated into five genetic groups: (1) mechanical breakdown of hard tissues with and without subsequent regeneration; (2) deviation of the growth of hard tissues due to soft tissue breaking; (3) genetic changes; (4) diseases; and (5) results of normal functioning. Examples of the pathologies considered (Abrasio, Accessio, Caudatio, Depressio, Diminutio, Duplicatio, Fusio, Impressio, Jugatio, Occlusio, and Suppressio) are widely represented in the Devonian deposits of the Voronezh Anteclise.
