Abstract
A jagged fracture array on a hypostome of Ceraurinella from Ordovician strata of northern Canada records an unsuccessful attempt at predation by an unknown animal. The traumatic injury was repaired from the interior during the same intermolt period that it has been inflicted.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
