Assessment of serpulid-hydroid association through the Jurassic: A case study from the Polish Basin
Fig 5
Artistic reconstruction of a Middle Jurassic serpulid Propomatoceros lumbricalis syn vivo infested by hydroids Protulophila gestroi.
It is hypothesized that the everted polyps in older part of the serpulid tube may have relied on the food particles delivered by external currents. An inset shows some everted polyps from the host serpulid’s tube (drawn by Bogusław Waksmundzki).
