Comparison of specimen total length and connecting region length in specimens from locality LC6, Newfoundland, Canada
| Specimen | Total length (mm) | Connecting region (mm) | Length of connecting region as a proportion of total organism length (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| X. 50297.11 | 88.78 | 15.11 | 17.02 |
| X. 50297.7 | 103.4 | 23.40 | 23.63 |
| X. 50297.1 | 140.96 | 0 | N/A |
| X. 50297.10 | 146.76 | 15.72 | 10.71 |
| X. 50297.4 | 242.81 | 33.75 | 13.9 |
| X. 50297.5 | 158.01 | 33.72 | 21.34 |
Only specimens where the base of the organism is well preserved were included in our analysis. ‘N/A’ represents cases where the total length data are imprecise, and therefore cannot be used to accurately determine proportions. Images were retrodeformed prior to measurement using the constant area method. Specimens housed at CAMSM.
