A possible case of inverted lifestyle in a new bivalved arthropod from the Burgess Shale [PDF]
The origin of the arthropod carapace, an enlargement of cephalic tergites, can be traced back to the Cambrian period. However, its disparity and evolution are still not fully understood.

A comprehensive Cambrian correlation chart
The International Subcommission on Cambrian Stratigraphy has introduced a number of internal subdivisions (i.e., series and stages), but most of the explanatory publications lack reliable data on the correlation between all Cambrian key continents.

A modified trap design for sampling subterranean habitats for central Texas Eurycea salamanders [PDF]
In this paper, we describe modifications to a sampling technique for surface, stream-dwelling salamanders for use in subterranean settings. Leaf litter bags are an effective and commonly used trap for salamanders, and their construction purposefully ...

Morphology and relationships of the enigmatic stenothecoid pan-brachiopod Stenothecoides—new data from the middle Cambrian Burgess Shale Formation [PDF]
Bulk sampling of middle Cambrian carbonate units in the lower Burgess Shale Formation (Wuliuan) and the upper Wheeler Formation (Drumian) in Utah have yielded abundant silicified stenothecoids.

New data on the anatomy of fuxianhuiid arthropod Guangweicaris spinatus from the lower Cambrian Guanshan Biota, Yunnan, China [PDF]
The fuxianhuiid arthropod Guangweicaris spinatus, from the lower Cambrian (Series 2, Stage 4), Guanshan Biota (Wulongqing Member, Canglangpu Formation), located in the vicinity of Kunming (Yunnan Province, southwest China), is redescribed based on new ...

On the Topology of the Cambrian Semilattices [PDF]
For an arbitrary Coxeter group $W$, David Speyer and Nathan Reading defined Cambrian semilattices $C_{\gamma}$ as semilattice quotients of the weak order on $W$ induced by certain semilattice homomorphisms.

Sedimentary characteristics and development model of Cambrian gypsum-salt rocks, Tarim Basin
The Cambrian gypsum-salt rocks in the Tarim Basin are key geological elements to the pre-salt play typical marine evaporites, yet little attention has been paid to this set of evaporites.

New artiopodan euarthropods from the Chengjiang fauna (Cambrian, Stage 3) at Malong, Yunnan, China [PDF]
The artiopodans, consisting of trilobites and their relatives, were a major euarthropod group in the Paleozoic. Since the first discovery of Naraoia from the Chengjiang fauna, a significant number of artiopodans have been subsequently found in China ...

An encrusting kleptoparasite-host interaction from the early Cambrian
Parasite–host systems are pervasive in nature but are extremely difficult to convincingly identify in the fossil record. Here we report quantitative evidence of parasitism in the form of a unique, enduring life association between tube-dwelling organisms
