The fossilization occurred apparently due to fast burial under anoxic conditions. The position of a membranous sac in the Permian trepostome Rhombotrypella superangustata is indicative of a progressive polypide cycle. The position of the polypide in the Ordovician Graptodictya delicata behind the superior and interior hemisepta suggests a protective function of the hemisepta.}, note = { \url {http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gldocs-11858/10740}}, }
