The oldest brachiopods from the lower Cambrian of South Australia [PDF]

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica, 2011
The morphology and organophosphatic shell structure of the paterinate brachiopod Askepasma is documented using new and previously collected specimens from the lower Cambrian of South Australia. Lack of adequately preserved material has seen the majority of paterinate specimens previously reported from South Australia referred to the genus Askepasma and

A Phosphatocopid Crustacean with Appendages from the Lower Cambrian

open access: yesScience, 2001
Here we describe a phosphatocopid arthropod with preserved soft anatomy from Lower Cambrian rocks of Shropshire, England, which provides evidence for the occurrence of Crustacea, including Eucrustacea, in the Early Cambrian. The find identifies an important, stratigraphically early source of well-preserved fossils (Konservat-Lagerstätte).

Testing for the presence of a terrane boundary within Neoproterozoic (Dalradian) to Cambrian siliceous turbidites at Callander, Perthshire, Scotland [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The Southern Highland Group (Dalradian) and Keltie Water Grit Formation, which includes the Lower Cambrian Leny Limestone, form an inverted, 1.4 km thick, largely arenaceous, sequence at Callander.

A Eucrustacean Metanauplius from the Lower Cambrian [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2010
A new eucrustacean arthropod, Wujicaris muelleri gen. et sp. nov, is represented by a Lower Cambrian early metanauplius of strikingly modern morphology despite being the oldest known fossil of such an early immature crustacean larva. The morphology of the metanauplius closely mirrors that of corresponding developmental stages of living barnacles and ...

Discovery of solid bitumen in the Cambrian reservoirs and its geological implications in the Ordos Basin, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
This study reports a comprehensive geochemical analysis of several samples of the solid bitumen recently discovered in the Cambrian reservoirs in drillings and outcrops in the Ordos Basin. The results show that the solid bitumen in the reservoir features

Geochemistry of marine black shale of the Cambrian Qiongzhusi Formation, Yangtze Plate, SW China: implications for provenance and paleoweathering [PDF]

open access: yesOil Shale, 2023
Marine black shale in the Lower Cambrian Qiongzhusi (QZS) Formation in the southwestern Yangtze Plate, SW China, is the key target for shale gas development. The paleoenvironment plays an important role in the formation of organic-rich shale.

Deep water vetulicolians from the lower Cambrian of China. [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
Vetulicolians are an enigmatic phylum of extinct Cambrian marine invertebrates. They are particularly diverse in the Chengjiang Biota of China, but representatives have been recovered from other Fossil-Lagerstätten (Cambrian Stage 3-Drumian).

Carbon isotopic compositions and origin of Paleozoic crude oil in the platform region of Tarim Basin, NW China

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2017
Based on the carbon isotopic compositions of Cambrian-Ordovician source rocks Kerogen Samples and Paleozoic crude oil in the platform region of Tarim Basin, the origin and source of Paleozoic crude oil were investigated.

Analysis of Gas Composition and Nitrogen Sources of Shale Gas Reservoir under Strong Tectonic Events: Evidence from the Complex Tectonic Area in the Yangtze Plate

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Strong tectonic movement brings great risk to exploration of shale gas in southern China, especially in Lower Cambrian shale with complex tectonic backgrounds, which has good hydrocarbon-generation matter but low or no gas content.
