A Phosphatocopid Crustacean with Appendages from the Lower Cambrian
Abstract
Here we describe a phosphatocopid arthropod with preserved soft anatomy from Lower Cambrian rocks of Shropshire, England, which provides evidence for the occurrence of Crustacea, including Eucrustacea, in the Early Cambrian. The find identifies an important, stratigraphically early source of well-preserved fossils (Konservat-Lagerstätte).

“This ancestor clearly existed prior to the Cambrian, given the famous diversity of crown group bilaterians already evident in the Early Cambrian fossil record (Fig. 1; Chen and Zhou, 1997;Siveter et al., 2001).”

“…hand, both crown-group crustaceans and pentastomids appear virtually simultaneously in the fossil record at about 500 Mya (Müller 1983; Walossek 1993; Walossek & Müller 1998), and their separation from the oldest crustacean fossils known is by only 10-20 My (Chen et al. 2001; Siveter et al. 2001).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
