TL;DR: The 1985 Chinese/British expedition to the Tibetan Plateau attempted to solve the question of the origin of the very thick crustal rocks in this region as mentioned in this paper, but the results were unsatisfactory.
Journal ArticleDOI
The early radiation and phylogeny of echinoderms
C. R. C. Paul,Andrew B. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: Living echinoderms are characterized by an extensive water vascular system developed from the larval left hydrocoel, a complex, multi‐plated endoskeleton with stereom structure, and pentamery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedimentology, palaeoecology and palaeoenvironmental evolution of the 1985 Lhasa to Golmud Geotraverse
TL;DR: In this article, vertical and horizontal measurements of almost 30 km of sections were made along the Geotraverse route at 113 localities ranging in age from Ordovician to Tertiary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ophiuroid phylogeny and higher taxonomy: morphological, molecular and palaeontological perspectives
TL;DR: A cladistic analysis of the class Ophiuroidea at subfamily level is presented based on a morphological data base of 43 characters, which identifies Ophiocanopidae as sister group to other extant ophiuroids, which themselves fall into two major groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
The interrelationships of the echinoderm classes: morphological and molecular evidence
TL;DR: This work has reviewed all available morphological and molecular data, added new data and reanalysed independent data sets individually and in combination, in order to resolve echinoderm class relationships and picks out (outgroup(C(A(O(E,H))))) and (out group(C((A,O),( E,H)))) as the two most plausible phylogenetic hypotheses.
