Sponge spicule assemblages from the Cambrian (Series 2?3) of North Greenland (Laurentia) : systematics and biogeography
Isolated microscopic spicules from disarticulated scleritomes demonstrate the presence of a diverse sponge fauna otherwise not evident from the macrofossil record in carbonate successions deposited during the un-named Cambrian Series 2 and Cambrian Series 3 (Miaolingian) in North Greenland. Most of...
