Title | Copy letter from Ian Rolfe to Herbert Graham Cannon |
Creator | Rolfe; W. D. Ian |
Date | 10 July 1960 |
Description | Rolfe is researching Silurian period Ceratiocarid fossils and wishes to follow up an early suggestion of Cannon's on the acquisition of carapaces. He askes if subsequent authors have noted this as an adaption to a burrowing lifestyle. Solicits suggestions from Cannon and mentions that his specimens had 'vicious mandibles' and were armed with rows of spines. He thinks that the animal was a voracious carnivore and asks for modern analogues. |
