Kalloprion kilmisteri is a fossil annelworm from the group of the poly- bristle . It was 2006 by the Swedish scientist Mats E. Eriksson fossil based jaw parts (joint and scolecodonts ) first described and after the British musician Lemmy named.
description
The first description of Kalloprion kilmisteri made on the basis of various polychaete for typical parts of the jaw. These were the articulated jaws and the tooth parts ( scolecodonts ). Kalloprion kilmisteri differs from other described species of the genus Kalloprion in that it has a stronger maxilla and rounded tooth structures.
Location and chronological order
The fossils come from a collection of microfossils from Ireviken Bay on the Swedish island of Gotland . They come from the strata of the upper Llandovery up to the transition to the Wenlock in the Silurian and are therefore around 430 to 440 million years old.
Systematics and Etymology
The systematic assignment of the worms to the genus Kalloprion was based on the tooth structure. The genus Kalloprion was first described in 1962 by Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska on the basis of the type species Kalloprion ovalis . In 1966, Kielan-Jaworowska assigned the genus Kalloprion to the family Kalloprionidae together with the genera Leptoprion and Euryprion also described by it .
It was named after the singer of the British hard rock band Motörhead , Lemmy Kilmister. In the first description Eriksson justified his naming with the musical inspiration from Lemmy during his scientific work. ("Named in honor of Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead, for musical inspiration during the course of this study.") In 2012, Eriksson and colleagues named another multi-bristle after the Danish musician King Diamond as Kingnites diamondi .
