By the Middle Ordovician, ecosystems appear to have been much more disparate2, with many endemic taxa as well as cosmopolitan ones3. However, this transformatio...
Burgess Shale-type fossil assemblages provide the best evidence of the ‘Cambrian explosion’. Here we report the discovery of an extraordinary new soft-bodied fauna from the Burgess Shale. Despite its proximity (ca. 40 km) to Walcott’s original locality, the Marble Canyon fossil assemblage i...

A reassessment of the genus, including restudy of previously described material and the addition of new material that includes partially disarticulated ...
