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 ...
Prehistoric arthropods of the Cambrian period, during the Paleozoic Era. Subcategories. This category has the following 7 subcategories, out of 7 total. ...
Opabinia regalis is an extinct, stem group arthropod found in the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale Lagerstätte (505 million years ago) of British Columbia. [1] Opabinia was a soft-bodied animal, measuring up to 7 cm in body length, and had a segmented trunk with flaps along its sides and a fan-shaped tail.
[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.
Scientists have solved a long-standing mystery about how the extinct arthropod Odaraia alata ... The first mandibulates evolved in oceans during the Cambrian period (541 million to 485.4 million ...
A large bivalved arthropod known from Early to Middle Cambrian marine environments from what is now North America, Australia, China, Europe and Siberia. The large, domed carapace of the creature reached lengths of 180 millimetres (7.1 in), making it one of the largest known Cambrian arthropods. Burgessia. Arthropoda. Unassigned 1383 specimens
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.
The Artiopoda is a grouping of extinct arthropods that includes trilobites and their close relatives. It was erected by Hou and Bergström in 1997 [3] to encompass a wide diversity of arthropods that would traditionally have been assigned to the Trilobitomorpha. Trilobites, in part due to abundance of findings owing to their mineralized ...
