Paleontological Contributions
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PALEONTOLOGICAL CONTRIBUTIONS July 24, 1984 Paper 111 EXCEPTIONALLY PRESERVED NONTRILOBITE ARTHROPODS AND ANOMALOCARIS FROM THE MIDDLE CAMBRIAN OF UTAH' D. E. G. BRIGGS and R. A. ROBISON Department of Geology, Goldsmiths' College, University of London, Creek Road, London SE8 3BU, and Department of Geology, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045 Abstract—For the first time arthropods with preserved soft parts and appendages are recorded from Middle Cambrian strata in Utah. Occurrences of four nontrilobite taxa are described, including Branchiocaris pretiosa (Resser) and Emeraldella? sp. from the Marjum Formation, Sidneyia? sp. from the Wheeler Formation, and Leanchoilia? hanceyi, n. sp., from the Spence Shale. A small specimen of the giant predator Anomalocaris nathorsti (Walcott) also is described from the Marjum Formation. These occurrences extend upward the observed stratigraphie ranges of Anomalocaris, Branchiocaris, and questionably Emeraldella and Sidneyia. Emeraldella, Leanchoilia, and Sidneyia hitherto have been recorded from only the Stephen Formation in British Columbia. Further evaluation indicates that Dicerocaris opisthoeces Robison and Rich- ards, 1981, is a junior synonym of Pseudoarctolepis sharpi Brooks and Caster, 1956. DURING RECENT years, intensive collecting has 1983). Although providing little new morpho- produced rare but diverse, soft-bodied or scler- logic data, the Utah specimens are important otized Middle Cambrian fossils from several because of new information they provide about -

The pomp and ceremony! The emotion! I wondered why all of these people were so invested just because it was a new fossil species of something related to us in the very recent past. What about all of the other new fossil species that are discovered every day? I can’t imagine an international media frenzy, led by deans and vice chancellors amidst a backdrop of flags and flashbulbs, over a new species of ammonite. Most other fossil discoveries and publications of taxonomy are not met with such fanfare. The Annual Meeting is a time for sharing these discoveries, many of which will not bring the scientists involved international fame, but will advance our science and push the boundaries of our knowledge and understanding. -
Chapter 5. Paleozoic Invertebrate Paleontology of Grand Canyon National Park
Chapter 5. Paleozoic Invertebrate Paleontology of Grand Canyon National Park By Linda Sue Lassiter1, Justin S. Tweet2, Frederick A. Sundberg3, John R. Foster4, and P. J. Bergman5 1Northern Arizona University Department of Biological Sciences Flagstaff, Arizona 2National Park Service 9149 79th Street S. Cottage Grove, Minnesota 55016 3Museum of Northern Arizona Research Associate Flagstaff, Arizona 4Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum Vernal, Utah 5Northern Arizona University Flagstaff, Arizona Introduction As impressive as the Grand Canyon is to any observer from the rim, the river, or even from space, these cliffs and slopes are much more than an array of colors above the serpentine majesty of the Colorado River. The erosive forces of the Colorado River and feeder streams took millions of years to carve more than 290 million years of Paleozoic Era rocks. These exposures of Paleozoic Era sediments constitute 85% of the almost 5,000 km2 (1,903 mi2) of the Grand Canyon National Park (GRCA) and reveal important chronologic information on marine paleoecologies of the past. This expanse of both spatial and temporal coverage is unrivaled anywhere else on our planet. While many visitors stand on the rim and peer down into the abyss of the carved canyon depths, few realize that they are also staring at the history of life from almost 520 million years ago (Ma) where the Paleozoic rocks cover the great unconformity (Karlstrom et al. 2018) to 270 Ma at the top (Sorauf and Billingsley 1991). The Paleozoic rocks visible from the South Rim Visitors Center, are mostly from marine and some fluvial sediment deposits (Figure 5-1). -

Exploring Abnormal Cambrian-Aged Trilobites in the Smithsonian Collection
Exploring abnormal Cambrian-aged trilobites in the Smithsonian collection Russell D.C. Bicknell1 and Stephen Pates2 1 Palaeoscience Research Centre, School of Environmental and Rural Science, University of New England, Armidale, NSW, Australia 2 Museum of Comparative Zoology and Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Boston, United States of America ABSTRACT Biomineralised trilobite exoskeletons provide a 250 million year record of abnormalities in one of the most diverse arthropod groups in history. One type of abnormality— repaired injuries—have allowed palaeobiologists to document records of Paleozoic predation, accidental damage, and complications in moulting experienced by the group. Although Cambrian trilobite injuries are fairly well documented, the illustration of new injured specimens will produce a more complete understanding of Cambrian prey items. To align with this perspective, nine new abnormal specimens displaying healed injuries from the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History collection are documented. The injury pattern conforms to the suggestion of lateralised prey defence or predator preference, but it is highlighted that the root cause for such patterns is obscured by the lumping of data across different palaeoecological and environmental conditions. Further studies of Cambrian trilobites with injuries represent a key direction for uncovering evidence for the Cambrian escalation event.

A New Leanchoiliid Megacheiran Arthropod from the Lower Cambrian Emu Bay Shale, South Australia
A new leanchoiliid megacheiran arthropod from the lower Cambrian Emu Bay Shale, South Australia GREGORY D. EDGECOMBE, DIEGO C. GARCÍA−BELLIDO, and JOHN R. PATERSON Edgecombe, G.D., García−Bellido, D.C., and Paterson, J.R. 2011. A new leanchoiliid megacheiran arthropod from the lower Cambrian Emu Bay Shale, South Australia. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 56 (2): 385–400. The Leanchoiliidae is well−known from abundant material of Leanchoilia, from the Burgess Shale and Chengjiang Konservat−Lagerstätten. The first Australian member of the group is Oestokerkus megacholix gen. et sp. nov., described from the Emu Bay Shale (Cambrian Series 2, Stage 4), at Buck Quarry, Kangaroo Island, South Australia, and is interme− diate in age between the well known leanchoiliid species from the Burgess Shale and Chengjiang. Phylogenetic analysis of “short great appendage” arthropods (Megacheira) in the context of the chelicerate stem group resolves the Australian species as sister to Burgess Shale, Utah, and Chengjiang Leanchoilia species, but most readily distinguished from Leanchoilia and Alalcomenaeus by a different telson shape, interpreted as being forked, widening distally, and with a few dorsally curved spines at the posterior angle. Leanchoiliid interrelationships are stable to alternative character weights, and Megacheira corresponds to a clade in most analyses.

Burgess Shale−Type Microfossils from the Middle Cambrian Kaili Formation, Guizhou Province, China
Burgess Shale−type microfossils from the middle Cambrian Kaili Formation, Guizhou Province, China THOMAS H.P. HARVEY, JAVIER ORTEGA−HERNÁNDEZ, JIH−PAI LIN, ZHAO YUANLONG, and NICHOLAS J. BUTTERFIELD Harvey, T.H.P., Ortega−Hernández, J., Lin, J.−P., Zhao, Y., and Butterfield, N.J. 2012. Burgess Shale−type microfossils from the middle Cambrian Kaili Formation, Guizhou Province, China. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 57 (2): 423–436. Diverse carbonaceous microfossils, including exceptionally preserved remains of non−biomineralizing metazoans, are re− ported from a basal middle Cambrian interval of the Kaili Formation (Guizhou Province, China). The application of a gentle acid maceration technique complements previous palynological studies by revealing a larger size−class of acritarchs, a richer assemblage of filamentous microfossils, and a variety of previously unrecovered forms. Metazoan fos− sils include Wiwaxia sclerites and elements derived from biomineralizing taxa, including chancelloriids, brachiopods and hyolithids, in common with previously studied assemblages from the early and middle Cambrian of Canada. In addition, the Kaili Formation has yielded pterobranch remains and an assemblage of cuticle fragments representing “soft−bodied” worms, including a priapulid−like scalidophoran. Our results demonstrate the wide distribution and palaeobiological im− portance of microscopic “Burgess Shale−type” fossils, and provide insights into the limitations and potential of this largely untapped preservational mode. Key words: Kaili biota, Priapulida,
