Abstract
The endemic radiodonts of the Cambrian Stage 4 Guanshan biota of South China
Highlights
Sitting temporally between the Stage 3 Chengjiang and Wuliuan Kaili Biotas, the Guanshan Biota contains numerous fossil organisms that are exclusive to this exceptional deposit
The Guanshan Konservat-Lagerstätte is unusual amongst Cambrian strata that preserve non-biomineralized material, as it was deposited in a relatively shallow water setting
In this contribution we double the diversity of radiodonts known from the Guanshan Biota from two to four, and describe the second species of Paranomalocaris
Summary
The Guanshan Biota (South China, Cambrian, Stage 4) contains a diverse assemblage of biomineralizing and non-biomineralizing animals. Sitting temporally between the Stage 3 Chengjiang and Wuliuan Kaili Biotas, the Guanshan Biota contains numerous fossil organisms that are exclusive to this exceptional deposit. The Guanshan Konservat-Lagerstätte is unusual amongst Cambrian strata that preserve non-biomineralized material, as it was deposited in a relatively shallow water setting.
