Abstract:
Diverse early Cambrian skeletal microfossils have been discovered from South China, which has provided an excellent evidence for solving the affinity of some problematic microfossils and understanding the evolution of early Cambrian metazoan. Recently, we found some tubular skeletal microfossils from the "Tsinghsutung Formation" in Jianhe, Guizhou Province, which belong to Torellella, Hyolithellus, Coleoloides and scaly ornament tubular microfossils Mongolitubulus squamifer. M. squamifer has a wide distribution. We assumed that M. squamifer might be the carapace spines of the Bradoriida crustaceans based on the features of microfossils from "Tsinghsutung Formation" in comparing with the variety of Mongolitubulus described in the literature.
