Shelly fossils from the lower Cambrian White Point Conglomerate, Kangaroo Island, South Australia [PDF]
The lower Cambrian (Series 2) White Point Conglomerate (WPC) on Kangaroo Island, South Australia contains exotic clasts representing a diverse array of lithologies, including metamorphics, chert, sandstone, and abundant carbonates, notably archaeocyath ...

Background The Svalbard Archipelago is commonly believed to have been located at comparable latitude and, possibly, to have been attached to Laurentia in the early Paleozoic (500–420 Ma) based on trilobite assemblage similarities.

Pseudophillipsia (Carniphillipsia) (Trilobite) from the Permian Jamal Formation, Isfahan, Iran [PDF]
The aim of this study is to bridge a gap in the existence of Trilobites in the marine Permian successions of Iran by exploring a stratigraphic section of the Permian in Jamal Formation (Dizlu section). Based on comprehensive field studies and laboratory

Palaeozoic correlations and the Palaeogeography of the Sibumasu (Shan-Thai) Terrane - a brief review [PDF]
Furongian sandstones yield shallow-water trilobite faunas along the length of the Sibumasu Terrane in the four regions of NW Malaysia (Langkawi), southern Thailand (Satun), the Shan States of Myanmar and the Baoshan Block of western Yunnan.

Stratigraphy and Palaeontology of Trilobites in Kuhbanan Formation in the Akbar-Abad Section (North of Kerman) [PDF]
Cambrian sedimentary facies are exposed throughout north part of Kerman region. Trilobites’ faunas are the most common invertebrate fossils within the Cambrian strata. The section is made of 217 m of sandstone, shale, limestone and dolomite.

Revison of an Atheloptic Visean Trilobite Association in the Moravian Karst (Czech Republic)
Recently two new trilobite occurrences were discovered during geological mapping of fossiliferous shales of the Březina Formation around the village of Březina in the Moravian Karst (Czech Republic).

Insights into a 429-million-year-old compound eye
In all arthropods the plesiomorphic (ancestral character state) kind of visual system commonly is considered to be the compound eye. Here we are able to show the excellently preserved internal structures of the compound eye of a 429 Mya old Silurian ...

Despite being internal organs, digestive structures are frequently preserved in Cambrian Lagerstätten. However, the reasons for their fossilisation and their biological implications remain to be thoroughly explored.

Post-Ordovician trilobite diversity and evolutionary faunas
Trilobites were the most successful clade of marine invertebrates during the Cambrian, as highlighted by Sepkoski’s Cambrian Evolutionary Fauna. After the Cambrian they were still abundant, widespread and highly diversified.

Exceptionally preserved Cambrian trilobite digestive system revealed in 3D by synchrotron-radiation X-ray tomographic microscopy. [PDF]
The Cambrian 'Orsten' fauna comprises exceptionally preserved and phosphatised microscopic arthropods. The external morphology of these fossils is well known, but their internal soft-tissue anatomy has remained virtually unknown.
