Name: Phylum
Annelida?
Geological
Time: Middle Cambrian
Size: 45
mm (if straight)
Fossil
Site: Wheeler Formation, House Range, Millard County, Utah
| Coming
from the Cambrian Wheeler Formation deposits of Millard County,
Utah, this plate contains an unknown worm that might be an annelid.
The annulations on the body (Annelid is derived from “little
ring”) are clearly evident, but there are no scelrites to
indicate a nematomorph body plan. Whatever the case, it is a fine
example of soft tissue preservation found in selective bedding planes
of the House Range
of Utah.
