A potential cephalopod from the early Cambrian of eastern Newfoundland, Canada

Hildenbrand, Austermann et al. present new material from the early Cambrian of Newfoundland that potentially backdates the evolution of cephalopods to before euarthropods. The material is most closely aligned with the Cephalopoda, lending a tentative assignment and significant potential implications...

Description
Summary:Hildenbrand, Austermann et al. present new material from the early Cambrian of Newfoundland that potentially backdates the evolution of cephalopods to before euarthropods. The material is most closely aligned with the Cephalopoda, lending a tentative assignment and significant potential implications for the origin of this molluscan group.
