    Yunnanozoon or something else?

    The longest one is roughly 2cm long. I’ve counted 12 on the rock, which itself is about 5cm long. All I know is that it’s from the Maotianshan shales in China. I was told it’s a Yunnanozoon, but I believe this is incorrect as the person I got it from is often wrong with their identifications.
  2. Possible synonyms Protopriapulites haikouensis Hou, Bergström, Wang, Feng & Chen, 1999. The correct name is Sicyophorus rara and not as often found Sicyophorus rarus. Description from Hou et al. 2017, p 124: "This is a relatively common priapulid‐like worm, known from over a thousand specimens. In many cases the material consists of compressed, complete individuals, and the posterior half of the body is often better preserved with an apparently rigid outline. Detailed structures can be detected by subtle differences in color and relief. The size of the animal is generally about 1cm long. The overall body shape is reminiscent of a dumb‐bell, with a sub-equally expanded introvert and posterior trunk connected by a constricted neck region. The introvert bears spine‐like scalids arranged in about 20 longitudinal rows and 14 circlets. The narrower anterior part of the proboscis is protrusive and appears to bear a regular array of tiny spines. The trunk cuticle is apparently more rigid than the introvert, and is covered in a series of 13–15 longitudinal plates divided by dark ridges. The distinct gut is heavily coiled and filled with sediment, almost entirely occupying the ovoid trunk."

    Lobopodian or not?

    Someone is selling this fossil at auction, saying they don’t know what it is, but it might be a lobopodian. Any ideas?
  4. What is this thing? It looks like a platypus worm with spines coming out of its head. It’s from the Maotianshan Shale in Yunnan, China. What is it?
  5. Leptomitus teretiusculus is a moderately common, thin-walled sponge species. Specimens range up to 11cm long and about 1,2cm wide. Literature: J. Y. Chen, X. G. Hou, and H. Z. Lu. 1989. Lower Cambrian leptomitids (Demospongea), Chengjiang, Yunnan. Acta Palaeontologica Sinica 28(1):17-30

    Parayiliangella quadrisulcata

    A new trilobite for my collection I don't think more complete specimens exist.
  7. References: Liu, J. et al.(2012) New occurence of the Cambrian (Stage 4, Series 2) Guanshan Biota in Huize, Yunnan, South China. Bulletin of Geosciences Vol. 87, 1, 2012, pp125-132
  8. From the album: Anomalocaris and friends.

    A large grasping appendage of the Chinese Anomalocaridid, Amplectobelua symbrachiata. A cousin of the Anomalocaris. This grasper is a very large example at 89mm. From the Maotianshan Shales in Chengjiang. Lower Cambrian, ~525Ma.
