We have a great short film on modern brachiopods that Curry (first name escapes me at the moment) produced. -Roy Plotnick -- Roy E.

Does anyone know of literature/people who address the questions of climates of unearthly worlds? That is, what would the climate bands be like on a world with a much greater axial tilt (but earthlike in other respects)? Or, how would atmospheric convection cells be influenced by much greater or lesser rotation rates. At what speed of rotation would the "normal" set of three cells in each hemisphere break down? Does anyone model this kind of thing?

Available from the the Smithsonian I would guess. The video does not treat all echinoderms, but has fantastic time-lapse sequence of both regular and irregular echinoids. Ben Greenstein
