If so, the oldest traces of locomotory activities of the metazoans should be connected with their infaunal life. |
Lingulids are shallow burrowing infaunal filter feeders of the shallow intertidal zone. |
Within a particular paleoenvironment the organisms could further subdivide resources by establishing epifaunal, and possibly infaunal, tiers. |
Life habit categories included epifaunal, infaunal, shallow infaunal, and deep infaunal. |
Marine invertebrates include ammonites, echinoderms, bivalves and crustaceans, but infaunal elements are rare. |
This study concerns all infaunal brachiopods that possess an inarticulate, organo-phosphatic, linguliform shell. |
