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 ...
Youti (meaning "larva") is an extinct genus of dinocaridid arthropods from the Cambrian Maotianshan Shales of Yunnan Province, China. It was described after using computational approaches to visualize the internal details preserved inside the fossil.
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 ...
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]
These new fossils give a clearer picture that O. alata contributed to an evolutionary arms race as its mandibles allowed the animal to break down large structures into smaller pieces and gain ...
The largest known Cambrian radiodont was Amplectobelua, reaching lengths of up to 90 cm (35 in) based on an incomplete specimen. [15] Anomalocaris canadensis was also relatively large, estimated up to 34.2–37.8 cm (13.5–14.9 in) long, [2] and the Cambrian hurdiid Titanokorys approached around 50 cm (20 in) long. [16]
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 ...
