TITLE=Two new metazoans from the Cambrian Guanshan biota of China JOURNAL=Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution VOLUME=Volume 11 - 2023 YEAR=2023 URL=https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/ecology-and-evolution/articles/10.3389/fevo.2023.1160530 DOI=10.3389/fevo.2023.1160530 ISSN=2296-701X ABSTRACT=Here, we describe two new sessile epibenthic metazoans that show character traits with cnidarians and bryozoans. If confirmed, the new material can help to understand the origin and early evolution of these two phyla. The discovery of more sessile epibenthos suggests that the benthic ecosystem of the Guanshan biota (Cambrian Series 2, Stage 4) is more diverse than previously thought.
