Three-Dimensionally Preserved Arthropods from Cambrian Lagerstätten of Quebec and Wisconsin
@inproceedings{Collette2010ThreeDimensionallyPA, title={Three-Dimensionally Preserved Arthropods from Cambrian Lagerst{\"a}tten of Quebec and Wisconsin}, author={Joseph H. Collette and James W. Hagadorn}, booktitle={Journal of Paleontology}, year={2010} }
Abstract Three new types of arthropod are described from Cambrian intertidal lithofacies of the Elk Mound Group and St. Lawrence Formation of Wisconsin and the Potsdam Group of Quebec. These arthropods are preserved ventrally in sandstone in life position and in three dimensions, allowing detailed characterization of limb morphologies, labrums, and other organs such as eyes. A taphonomic model is presented, illustrating this unusual, uncompressed, three-dimensional style of preservation…

Nahecaris is thought to have been benthic and to have fed, likeCeratiocaris, by lifting the substrate into suspension, as well as by picking up large fragments directly with the mandibles.

Chert texture, faunal associations, and study of modern analogues strongly suggest that the terrestrial arthropods were ubiquitous Early Devonian forms with no particular special adaptation to localized conditions around the terrestrial hot-spring vents.
The aglaspidid arthropod Beckwithia from the Cambrian of Utah and Wisconsin
- Geology, Biology
- 1989
New specimens of Beckwithia typa, from the upper Middle Cambrian of Utah, show that, contrary to previous descriptions, the animal had at least 10 tergites and probably a tail-spine, and a possible relationship with Kodymirus vagans is suggested by the presence of axial spines.
