@oilshale, do you know what formation these come from? I have a few described as being from the Middle Cambrian of Feixian, Shandong, but have received conflicting names from sellers about the actual formation.

 

As far as I know they are from the lowermost Zhangxia Formation (Drumian,. Cambrian Series 3), Shandong Province. About the Zhangxia Formation:  https://robertriding.com/pdf/lee-etal-2016.pdf

From the Early Cambrian of Chengjiang, Yunnan. No idea what it is (Redlichia with backstab?)

Probably Eoredlichia intermedia with its axial spine.

:default_faint:  OK now I think MarcusFossils takes the cake. You've come a long way since you were looking at my small Chengjiang collection with envy, haven't you?

Thanks Eric, it's been an amazing few years! I never would have dreamed I'd have the collection I have today

What's the deal with the club on the front? Perhaps similar in function to tridents on Walliserops? Except I don't think there's a known function for those either.

I don't know how you do it without being in China yourself like oilshale is...

I tried to order some Cambrian items from Shandong recently (thru the usual venue) and they sent me some of those Pliocene crabs from Madagascar! I give up.
