Description
Bulk sampling of middle Cambrian carbonate units in the lower Burgess Shale Formation (Wuliuan) and the upper Wheeler Formation (Drumian) in Utah have yielded abundant silicified stenothecoids. Previously unreported from the Burgess Shale, stenothecoids discovered include at least two species: Stenothecoides cf. elongata and Stenothecoides rasettii sp. nov. The Utah material is assigned to Stenothecoides elongata. The new stenothecoid material confirms some earlier observations including a set of interior grooves and ridges forming nested chevrons across the midline and a finer set disposed around the interior shell margin. The chevroned grooves are interpreted here as mantle canals and...
