Rudist fossils display a striking variety in the shape and configuration of their valves. Unlike the simple cup-shaped valves of a clam (a), the valves of many rudist species are distinctly curved (b, c)or …

Three introductory chapters on rudists have already been published in Treatise Online (University of Kansas, Paleontological. Institute). Future work will be devoted to the preparation of the taxonomic …

Barremian-Albian caprinids biostratigraphic zones are revised and integrated with ammonites and benthic foraminifers. New caprinid rudist species are the key to revising long-held correlations of …
