Controls on gut phosphatisation : the trilobites from the Weeks Formation Lagerstätte (Cambrian; Utah) [PDF]
, 2012 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.

The earliest Ordovician trace fossils Cruziana and Rusophycus from Baltica [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 Trace fossils of the ichnogenera Cruziana and Rusophycus are described for the first time from the Lower Ordovician of Baltica. These specimens were found from the upper Tremadocianâlower Floian glauconite sandstone of the Leetse Formation in the ...

Trilobite ‘pelotons’: possible hydrodynamic drag effects between leading and following trilobites in trilobite queues [PDF]
Palaeontology, 2017 AbstractEnergy saving mechanisms in nature allow following organisms to expend less energy than leaders. Queues, or ordered rows of individuals, may form when organisms exploit the available energy saving mechanism while travelling at near‐maximal sustainable metabolic capacities; compact clusters form when group members travel well below maximal ...

The fossil record of early tetrapods: worker effort and the end-Permian mass extinction [PDF]
, 2010 It is important to understand the quality of the fossil record of early tetrapods (Tetrapoda, minus Lissamphibia and Amniota) because of their key role in the transition of vertebrates from water to land, their dominance of terrestrial faunas for over ...

The oldest known digestive system consisting of both paired digestive glands and a crop from exceptionally preserved trilobites of the Guanshan Biota (Early Cambrian, China). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The early Cambrian Guanshan biota of eastern Yunnan, China, contains exceptionally preserved animals and algae. Most diverse and abundant are the arthropods, of which there are at least 11 species of trilobites represented by numerous specimens.
