Occurrence, formation and function of organic sheets in the mineral tube structures of Serpulidae (polychaeta, Annelida).

A scanning electron microscopy study of organic sheets in serpulid tube mineral structures was carried out to discern their function, formation and evolution. The organic sheets may have some taxonomic value in distinguishing the two major clades of serpulids previously identified. The organic sheet...
