Phylogenomics underpins a stable and mostly well-resolved hypothesis for the
interrelationships of extant arthropods. Exceptionally preserved fossils are integrated into …

The trace-fossil record provides a wealth of information to track the rise and early evolution
of animals. It comprises the activity of both hard-and soft-bodied organisms, is continuous …

Accumulated records of organic microfossils span billions of years of Earth history. The
majority of this record consists of prokaryotes plus eukaryotes of a protistan grade, yet this …

The relationship between the evolution of early animal communities and oceanic oxygen
levels remains unclear. In particular, uncertainty persists in reconstructions of redox …

The fossilized traces of burrowing worms have taken on a considerable importance in
studies of the Cambrian explosion, partly because of their use in defining the base of the …

The concept of the Tommotian Regional Stage of the Siberian Platform has been closely
linked to the idea of the 'Cambrian Explosion'of animals and protists when the entire Earth …

We describe a new assemblage of small carbonaceous fossils (SCF s) from diagenetically
minimally altered clays and siltstones of Terreneuvian age from the Lontova and Voosi …

Exceptionally well‐preserved impressions of two bundles of bristles protrude from the
apertures of small, spiral shells of Pelagiella exigua, recovered from the Kinzers Formation …

Here we present a detailed accounting of organic microfossils from late Ediacaran
sediments of Finland, from the island of Hailuoto (northwest Finnish coast), and the …

The middle Marjum Formation is one of five Miaolingian Burgess Shale-type deposits in
Utah, USA. It preserves a diverse non-biomineralized fossil assemblage, which is dominated …
