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 ...

The first occurrence of Treptichnus pedum marks the Cambrian-Ediacaran boundary in Newfoundland, although there are several occurrences some metres below.. The opening of the Cambrian period is marked by a number of biological changes, including the extinction of the Ediacara biota, the preponderance of armoured organisms (e.g. the small shelly fossils), and a "widening of the behavioural ...
The Fortunian stage and presently unnamed Cambrian Stage 2 are the stages within this series. The Terreneuvian corresponds to the pre-trilobitic Cambrian. [5] The name Terreneuvian is derived from Terre Neuve, the French name for the island of Newfoundland, Canada, where many rocks of this age are found, including the type section. [2] [4]

Laminacaris size diagram. The large frontal appendage is the most prominent and distinctive feature in Cambrian arthropods. [3] [4] The largest frontal appendage of Laminacaris (YKLP 13338) is around 28 cm (11 in) long, which would have belonged to an individual between 53.2–78.4 cm (20.9–30.9 in) long, based on proportion of Innovatiocaris (which is once treated as "Anomalocaris" saron). [5]
It succeeds Cambrian Stage 2 and precedes Cambrian Stage 4, although neither its base nor top have been formally defined. The plan is for its lower boundary to correspond approximately to the first appearance of trilobites , about 521 million years ago, [ 2 ] though the globally asynchronous appearance of trilobites warrants the use of a ...
Stage 2 of the Cambrian is the unnamed upper stage of the Terreneuvian Series. It lies atop the Fortunian and below Stage 3 of the Cambrian. It is commonly referred to as the Tommotian, after the Cambrian stratigraphy of Siberia. [2] [3] Neither the upper nor lower boundary has yet been defined by the International Commission on Stratigraphy.
