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 ...
If this creature proves to be an opabiniid it means these creatures survived far longer into the middle Ordovician, and did not go extinct in the Cambrian. [ 7 ] [ 1 ] [ 8 ] There is actually another fossil arthropod (NMW.2021.3 G.8) known from castle bank that resembles Mieridduryn , and the opabiniids.
An important part of recognizing the structure as a nerve cord was fossilized nervous systems in other animals from the Cambrian Period (541 million to 485.4 million years ago) that were ...
Estimated to reach 34.2–37.8 cm (13.5–14.9 in) long excluding the frontal appendages and tail fan, [4] Anomalocaris is one of the largest animals of the Cambrian, and thought to be one of the earliest examples of an apex predator, [5] [6] though others have been found in older Cambrian lagerstätten deposits.
Omnidens, meaning "all-tooth", is an extinct genus of large Cambrian animal known only from a series of large mouth apparatus and sclerotized talon-like structures, originally mistaken as the mouthparts of anomalocaridids. [1] When first named, it was interpreted as a giant priapulid, [1] but is now considered a panarthropod. [2]

Cambroernids encompass three particular types of enigmatic animals first appearing in the Cambrian: Herpetogaster (the type genus), Phlogites, and the Eldonioidea.They are united by a set of common features including at least one pair of bifurcated or divided oral tentacles, and a large stomach and narrower intestine enclosed together in a clockwise-coiled sac.
