Extract

Examinations of the internal structures of microfossils provide important information about phylogenetic relationships and growth patterns. the internal structure of microfossils was first observed by sectioning during the late nineteenth century (e.g., Schlumberger, 1893, 1896), and further sectioning methods were developed in the twentieth century (e.g., Hemleben et al., 1977; Kennedy, 1978; Coleman, 1979; Nomura, 1983; Suzuki, 1998).
