Sentences with OSTRACODS (5)
Floating or swimming freely were examples of pteropods, worms, crustaceans, ostracods, and jelly-fish.
Allusion is here made to certain small Crustacea--certain phyllopods and ostracods--which have the hard outer coat of their thorax so modified as to look wonderfully like a bivalve shell, although its {80} nature and composition are quite different.
Crustacea occupied an extremely prominent place; there were Phyllocarids such as _Hymenocaris_, and Ostracods like _Entomidella_; but by far the most important in numbers and development were the Trilobites, now extinct, but in palaeozoic times so abundant.
