Every once in a while, evolution stumbles across a good idea and really runs with it. Despite its odd appearance, the Cambrian creature Odaraia alata—an arthropod whose taco-shaped carapace ...

Although several other genera of post-Cambrian arthropods, including members of the family Enaliktidae , have been proposed as members of megacheira, their ...
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.
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.
