Overview

Reports new discoveries of Schizopholis yorkensis, revealing its expanded geographical distribution in South China.

Key Points

  • The aim is to describe new material of Schizopholis yorkensis and analyze its distribution during the Cambrian period.
  • Systematic description of Schizopholis yorkensis based on newly discovered specimens.
  • Specimens obtained through acid etching to preserve morphological details.
  • Palaeogeographical analysis to study the distribution and diversity of the species.
  • S. yorkensis exhibits well-preserved features including distinct tubercles on its dorsal and ventral shells.
  • The species shows a significant expansion of its geographical distribution to South China and Antarctica during the Cambrian Age 4.
  • It suggests high diversity levels in low-latitude regions during this period.
