An extinct clade of the basal Epitheliozoa: phylogenetic position and implication of the enigmatic Cambrian chancelloriids

Abstract The notable disparity of animal body plans can be traced back to the morphological innovations during the Cambrian explosion and represented by a number of soft-bodied and skeletal fossils that provide a compelling narrative for animal evolution. Chancelloriids are an extinct group of Cambr...
