Opheline kinase (OK) is one of the phosphagen kinases (PKs) restricted to annelids, but the amino acid sequence has not been determined yet. The OK enzyme was isolated in 1966 from the polychaete Ophelia neglecta (Opheliidae) and shown to have somewh

Bowl-shaped structures are for the first time reported from the Greek Island of Rhodes. They occur in Pleistocene deposits of the Cape Arkhangelos Formation in the Rhodes Synthem. The regularity of their three-dimensional appearance is the argument f
