What has the author David K Loydell written?
David K. Loydell has written: 'Graptolites from the Upper Ordovician and Lower Silurian of Jordan' -- subject(s): Paleontology, Graptolites
What is the age graptolites?
Graptolites are an extinct group of marine animals that thrived during the Paleozoic Era, primarily from the Cambrian to the Devonian periods, approximately 520 to 360 million years ago. They are known for their distinctive, fossilized colonial structures and are important index fossils for dating and correlating geological strata. Graptolites played a significant role in paleontological studies and provide insights into the evolution of early life in the oceans.
What are graptolites?
Graptolites are extinct colonial marine organisms that lived from the Cambrian to the Carboniferous period, around 540 to 320 million years ago. They had a unique structure resembling tiny "tuning forks" and were important index fossils used for dating and correlating rock layers in geological studies.

What time period did graptolites live?
Graptolites first appeared in the Cambrian Period, 545-490 million years ago (mya), and evolved rapidly during the following Ordovician Period (490-434 mya) when the greatest variety of different forms lived. They suffered a major decline in the Silurian (434-410 mya) and only a few forms lasted into the Devonian. They finally became extinct during the Carboniferous Period, about 315 my ago.

Index fossils include graptolites?
Graptolites are excellent index fossils because they have a short-lived existence in the geologic time scale and are widespread. They are useful for dating rocks and correlating layers in different locations, assisting in determining the age of rocks and reconstructing past environments.
Did dinosaurs use to live in the Grand Canyon?
Most likely, some prehistoric ocean life lived in the general area, as the Grand Canyon was most likely covered in ocean at the time of the dinosaurs. By ocean life, I mean trilobites, orthocones, and graptolites.

What does a dicellograptus eat?
Dicellograptus is an extinct genus of graptolites, which were marine colonial animals. They primarily fed by filtering plankton and organic particles from the water using their tentacle-like structures. These creatures lived in the ocean during the Ordovician period and played a significant role in the marine ecosystem of their time.
