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 ...

Isoxyids are members of the order Isoxyida and the family Isoxyidae, a group of basal arthropods that existed during the Cambrian period. It contains two genera, Isoxys, with 20 species found worldwide, and Surusicaris known from a single species found in the Burgess Shale of Canada. They are distinguished by their bivalved carapaces and pair ...
Phosphatocopina (alternatively Phosphatocopida) is an extinct group of bivalved arthropods known from the Cambrian period. They are generally sub-milimetric to a few millimetres in size. They are generally sub-milimetric to a few millimetres in size.
Kerygmachelidae is a family of gilled lobopodians (stem-arthropods with flapping trunk appendages and radial mouths) from the Cambrian period. Currently three genera are included in the family: Kerygmachela from the lower Cambrian of Greenland, Utahnax from the middle Cambrian of Utah, and Mobulavermis from the lower-middle Cambrian of Nevada.
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.
Aaveqaspis is a genus of small (about 2.5 centimetres or 1.0 inch long) marine arthropods of unclear affiliation, that lived during the early Cambrian period. [1] Fossil remains of Aaveqaspis were collected from the Lower Cambrian Sirius Passet fossil-Lagerstätte of North Greenland.
Naraoia is a genus of small to average size (about 2-4½ cm long) marine arthropods within the family Naraoiidae, that lived from the early Cambrian to the late Silurian period. The species are characterized by a large alimentary system and sideways oriented antennas.
