Paucipodia Information & Paucipodia Links at HealthHaven.com

Paucipodia inermis is a lobopod known from the lower Cambrian Chengjiang lagerstatten.^[1] Its gut is puzzling; in some places, it is preserved in three dimensions, infilled with sediment; whereas in others it may be flat. The cannot result from phosphatisation, which is usually responsible for 3-D gut preservation,^[2] for the phosphate content of the guts is under 1% - the contents comprise quartz and muscovite.^[1]
