Fossil constraints on the origin and evolution of Platyhelminthes are surprisingly concordant with modern molecular phylogenies

Fossil constraints on the origin and evolution of Platyhelminthes are surprisingly concordant with modern molecular phylogenies

ABSTRACT Trace fossils preserved with fossil worm-shaped remains suggest the presence of free-living flatworms during the Ordovician at the latest and their occurrence in terrestrial environments during the Permian. The presence of hooks associated with acanthodian and placoderm fishes indicates the...
