Early Cambrian Palaeoscolecidan Sclerites from the Western Limb of the Chekurovka Anticline (Siberian Platform)

Abstract

Abstract: A new locality for Lower Cambrian palaeoscolecidan sclerites is described in a section of the western limb of the Chekurovka Anticline. The first finds of palaeoscolecids from the Upper Atdabanian are represented by several sclerites of Wronascolex lubovae (Ivantsov et Wrona, 2004). The Botomian-Toyonian interval is characterized by numerous sclerites of the genus Hadimopanella Gedik, 1977. One species, Hadimopanella luchininae sp. nov., is described as new. Previously known species are illustrated.
