EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, the intricately detailed fossilized remains of a colonial graptolite, specifically the species Cyrtograptus, are showcased against a stark black background. Hailing from the Silurian period of Bohemia, this ancient invertebrate is a testament to the rich biosphere that existed over 420 million years ago. Measuring just five centimeters wide, the field of view reveals an array of tiny, individual graptolites, each resembling a miniature, elongated, U-shaped structure, united by a common stalk. This colony of Cyrtograptus, a member of the Graptoloidea order, belongs to the class Invertebrata, and more specifically, the Phylum Hemichordata and the Class Graptolithina. The monographid graptolite, Cyrtograptus, is a fascinating creature with a unique morphology. Each individual graptolite features a pair of ciliated arms, which were used for feeding and locomotion, as well as a central, calcareous theca, or protective shell. The presence of these fossils in such a well-preserved state offers valuable insights into the anatomy and behavior of these ancient organisms, providing essential data for researchers in the fields of paleontology and evolutionary biology. David Lewis and Paul Taylor, renowned experts in the study of graptolites, would undoubtedly appreciate the beauty and significance of this specimen. This stunning image serves as a reminder of the vast array of life that has graced our planet throughout history, and the importance of preserving and studying our fossil record to better understand the intricacies of Earth's biosphere.
