Nonbiomineralized carapaces in Cambrian seafloor landscapes (Sirius Passet, Greenland): Opening a new window into early Phanerozoic benthic ecology
Widespread microbial mats and the absence of significant bioturbation resulted in a poorly developed mixed layer and extensive cohesive substrates during the Ediacaran-Cambrian transition. Large nonbiomineralized arthropod carapaces overprinted with trails, interconnected burrow systems, narrow-cali...
