PRATT 1Biodiversity Institute, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045, USA 2Department of Geological Sciences, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7N 5E2, Canada e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The Rockslide Formation (middle Cambrian, Drumian, Bolaspidella Zone) of the Mackenzie Mountains, northwestern Canada, hosts the Ravens Throat River Lagerstätte, which consists of two, 1-m thick intervals of greenish, thinly laminated, locally burrowed, slightly calcareous mudstone yielding a low-diversity and low-abundance fauna of bivalved arthropods, ‘worms’, hyoliths, and trilobites. Also present are flattened, circular, black carbonaceous objects averaging 15 mm in diameter, interpreted as coprolites preserved in either dorsal or ventral view. Many consist of aggregates of ovate carbonaceous flakes 0.5–2 mm long, which are probably compacted fecal pellets. Two-thirds contain a variably disarticulated pair of arthropod valves, and many also contain coiled to fragmented, corrugated ‘worm’ cuticle, either alone or together with valves. A few contain an enrolled agnostoid. In rare cases a ptychoparioid cranidium, agnostoid shield, bradoriid valve, or hyolith conch or operculum is present; these are taken to be due to capture and ingestion of bioclasts from the adjacent seafloor. Many of the coprolites are associated with semi-circular spreiten produced by movement of the worm-like predator while it occupied a vertical burrow. Its identity is unknown but it clearly exhibited prey selectivity.

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.

These specimens show some similarity to the Ordovician Discophyllum Hall, 1847; traditionally this taxon had been treated as a fossil porpitid. However, recently it has instead been referred to another clade, the eldonids, which includes the enigmatic Eldonia Walcott, 1911 that was originally described from the Cambrian Burgess Shale. The status of various Proterozoic and Phanerozoic taxa previously referred to porpitids and eldonids is also briefly considered.

Today the Newsletter features a mixture of long-established content relating to meetings, grant reports, methodologies and book reviews, and more recent additions such as media coverage of palaeontology, virtual visits to collections and biographies of notable palaeontologists (current and historical). I am honoured to take up the role of Newsletter Editor for 2016 and am hugely grateful to the outgoing Editor, Jo Hellawell, for invaluable help during the transition period. I hope that under my stewardship, the Newsletter continues to deliver thought-provoking material of interest to all of the Association’s members.
