The Application Of Filtration Theory To The Paleoecology Of Crinoids From The Lansing Group (Missourian, Upper Pennsylvanian), Midcontinent North America.

Type:

Etd

Description/Abstract:

Filtration theory was developed by engineers to model the removal of particulate matter from industrial gases. Recently, it has been used by biologists and paleo-biologists to model the capture of food particles by filter feeding organisms. The purpose of this study was to test paleosynecologic (biofacies-level) and paleoautecologic (species-level) models of crinoid distribution utilizing filtration theory. These models were tested by analyzing the crinoid faunas of three transgressive-regressive sequences from the Upper Pennsylvanian Lansing Group of midcontinent North America.
