This list contains many extinct arthropod genera from the Cambrian Period of the Paleozoic Era. Some trilobites, bradoriids and phosphatocopines may not be included due to the lack of literature on these clades and inaccessibility of many papers describing their genera. This list also provides references for any Wikipedia users who intend to ...
Pseudoarctolepis (meaning "false Arctolepis") is an extinct genus of bivalved arthropod known from the Cambrian period. The type species, P. sharpi was described by Brooks & Caster in 1956 from specimens found in the Wheeler Shale of Utah. [1]
Spectacularly preserved trilobite fossils, often showing soft body parts (legs, gills, antennae, etc.) have been found in British Columbia, Canada (the Cambrian Burgess Shale and similar localities); New York, U.S.A. (Ordovician Walcott–Rust quarry, near Russia, and Beecher's Trilobite Bed, near Rome); China (Lower Cambrian Maotianshan Shales ...
Fuxianhuia is a genus of Lower Cambrian fossil arthropod known from the Chengjiang fauna in China.Its purportedly primitive features have led to its playing a pivotal role in discussions about the euarthropod stem group.
[7]) is an extinct order of stem-group arthropods that was successful worldwide during the Cambrian period. Radiodonts are distinguished by their distinctive frontal appendages, which are morphologically diverse and were used for a variety of functions.
One example is a fossil specimen of the Cambrian arthropod Mollisonia, which showed brain organization comparable with that of living spiders, scorpions and horseshoe crabs, Mussini said.

Lomankus is significant, as it represents the youngest known definitive megacheiran in the fossil record, as well as the only definitive member of the order from post-Cambrian strata. Although several other genera of post-Cambrian arthropods, including members of the family Enaliktidae , have been proposed as members of megacheira, their ...
