  Acritarchs and Chitinozoa
Chitinozoa are flask-shaped sacs or vesicles, their surface may be smooth, striated, granular, spongy, spiny or ornamented with branching appendages.
The chain-forming attribute of many chitinozoa is an important clue, the generally accepted theory is that the chitinozoa are the eggs of a metazoan, as long coiled chains of eggs are known in some groups for instance polychaete worms and molluscs.
Chitinozoa are large enough to be captured in twenty micron gauzes and are often prepared for separately.

 Classification of Chitinozoa (Llandoverian, Canada) Using Image Analysis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Chitinozoa (Llandoverian, Canada) were studied using image analysis.
Results of the two methods were used as variables in a hierarchical cluster analysis in order to group the samples.
These results show that Chitinozoa can be significantly classified in terms of taxa using independent shape parameters obtained by image analysis.

Chitinozoa were exclusively marine microorganisms and were distributed globally.
It was discovered, through the study of Silurian Chitinozoa in Gotland, that the abundance of chitinozoa is almost directly proportionate with the contents of calcium carbonate in the rocks.
A decrease in the percent of calcium carbonate is coupled with and increased abundance of chitinozoa.

His research activity has encompassed a variety of microfossil groups and has spanned much geologic time.
Studies include Devonian and Mississippian chitinozoa, Permian radiolarians, Cretaceous chrysophytes, dinoflagellates, foraminifera, and silicoflagellates, Tertiary silicoflagellates, and Plio/Pleistocene spores and pollen.
Most of these studies have been conducted on strata of the El Paso region.

 A CONODONT-, GRAPTOLITE, AND CHITINOZOA-BASED SILURIAN (UPPER LLANDOVERY-PRIDOLI) CHRONOSTRATIGRAPHY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The newly revised Silurian composite includes range-data on more than 370 conodont, graptolite, and chitinozoa species and forms the basis for a revised Silurian chronostratigraphy that is now comparable with the one proposed by the Subcommission on Silurian Stratigraphy in 1995 (SSS).
All of the graptolite biozones utilized by the SSS from the upper Llandovery (lower, but not lowest, Telychian) through the Pridoli can be recognized as chronozones, and in the same ascending order.
It is also possible to recognize as chronozones seven of the 11 chitinozoa biozones utilized by the SSS, and eight of the 12 chitinozoa biozones recognized by Verniers and others (1995) for the upper Llandovery (Telychian)-Pridoli in the revised Silurian chronostratigraphy.

 NEWLY REVISED AND CALIBRATED CONODONT-, GRAPTOLITE-, AND CHITINOZOA-BASED SILURIAN CHRONOSTRATIGRAPHY DEVELOPED USING ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Ranges of over 400 conodont, graptolite, and chitinozoa species in 63 stratigraphic sections in North America, Europe, and Australia comprise the framework for a Silurian (upper Llandovery-Pridoli)-lowest Devonian (Lochkovian) chronostratigraphy developed using the graphic correlation method and recently revised with the inclusion of additional stratigraphic sections containing much new range data.
The upper Llandovery-lowest Lochkovian chronostratigraphy recognizes 20 conodont chronozones, 24 graptolite chronozones, and seven chitinozoa chronozones, as well as seven conodont subchronozones and four chitinozoa subchronozones.
Isotopic data from near the Llandovery/Wenlock, Wenlock/Ludlow, and Silurian/Devonian boundaries, the Ludlow-Pridoli succession of the Simpson Park Range 1, Nevada, United States section, and the upper Llandovery-Wenlock succession of the Cellon, Austria section facilitate the development of a calibrated time scale for the Silurian (late Llandovery-Pridoli).

The fact that conodonts are relatively common in rocks of Palaeozoic age, a period when other microfossil groups are either not present or scarce, has made them extremely useful stratigraphic tools.
Together with acritarchs, chitinozoa and spores, conodonts are the primary microfossils available to palaeontologists working on Ordovician to Permo-Triassic strata.
Untill the nineteen eighties their biological affinities were still not known.
