As such, the conodont skeleton is of great significance because of the insights it provides concerning the biology and function of the primitive vertebrate skeleton. Conodont apparatus architecture and function has been debated for a century and a half, but analysis has been limited to the available technicques. More recently, qualitative analytical approaches have been developed, facilitating the accurated reconstruction of the apparatus, but most interestint testing hypothesis of element function. In this talk, we show the usage of novel quantitative computational methods including Synchrotron Radiation X-ray Tomographic Microscopy or Finite Element Analyses together with microwear and oclussal analyses, have provided conclusive support for an occlusal tooth-like function for elements of many conodont species, allowing us to test hypothesis of structural adaptation within the crown tissue microstructure. Interestingly, based on the exceptional conodont fossil record of Slovenia, our results reveal that existing occlusal models are overly simplistic and perhaps over-generalised, hiding a greater diversity of occlusal styles and degrees of precision. Future works on this exceptional record will allow us a new instate on the conodont apparatus structure and function, allowing a new insights into the biology of this enigmatic animal.<\/p>\n Datum in lokacija:<\/strong> \u010cetrtek 27. 06. 2019 ob 17 uri na A\u0161ker\u010devi 12 , 2. nadstropje – predavalnica 209\u200b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"V prihodnjem tednu Slovensko geolo\u0161ko dru\u0161tvo organizira \u0161e zadnje predavanje pred poletnim odmorom.
