Promissum (original) (raw)
Promissum is an extinct genus of conodonts, primitive chordates, that lived during the Upper Ordovician period. A conodont, Promissum had a primitive mouth under its eyes with mineralized teeth, which are both typical for conodonts. It had a primitive backbone and probably looked like a small eel or large worm, lacking any kind of fins except for perhaps a small one on the tail. It was relatively large for a conodont, reaching about 40 cm (16 inch) in length. Well-preserved specimens were discovered in the Soom shale of South Africa in 1994.

| dbo:abstract | Promissum est un genre éteint de conodontes. L'espèce Promissum pulchrum pouvait mesurer jusqu'à 40 cm pour les plus grands individus. Leurs grands yeux avaient une position latérale de ce qui rend peu probable un rôle prédateur. La musculature conservée laisse entendre que Promissum était efficace, mais incapable d'atteindre des pointes de vitesse. L'espèce Promissum pulchrum a été découverte dans les shales de Soom en Afrique du Sud. Cette structure fait partie de la formation de datant de l'Ordovicien tardif (Hirnantien) faisant elle-même partie du groupe de Table Mountain, et de la Ceinture plissée du Cap.

Promissum was probably capable of maintaining a cruising speed, but not of bursts of speed. (en) Promissum is een uitgestorven geslacht van primitieve chordadieren. Het leefde in het Ordovicium in wat nu Zuid-Afrika is. Promissum was ongeveer 40 cm lang en daarmee een groot lid van de Conodonta. In 1994 werden in Zuid-Afrika in de Soom-afzetting van de Tafelberggroep goed bewaard gebleven fossielen van Promissum gevonden, die over een primitieve bek beschikten met gemineraliseerde tanden, vlak onder de oogkassen - typerend voor de conodonten. Ook werden sporen van de spierblokken en een primitieve ruggengraat gevonden. Promissum kon waarschijnlijk met een vrij constante snelheid door het water navigeren, maar was hoogstwaarschijnlijk niet in staat plotseling te versnellen. (nl) |
