Re: paleonet Fossil Leeches



Carl,

These references might be of some use.  They followed a talk by Svein Manum approximately entitled: have leeches crawled into palynology?  There might be more references by Manum on this topic.

Manum, S. B., Bose, M. N., and Sawyer, R. T., 	1991		Clitellate cocoons in freshwater deposits since the Triassic.	Zoologica Scripta, 20(4): 347­366.	(Spitsbergen Greenland  Baffin Island 	K1 cocoons  leeches)

Manum, S.B., Bose, M.N., Sawyer (as Sayer), R.T., and Boström, S., 	1994		A nematode (Captivonema cretacea gen. et sp. n.) preserved in a clitellate cocoon wall from the Early Cretaceous.	Zoologica Scripta, 23(1): 27­31.	(K1  nematode  invertebrate  clitellate cocoon)
