Fuxianospira gyrata is a Cambrian macroalgae found in the Chengjiang lagerstätte. [1] Preserved in clustered, helicoid groups, the filaments are threadlike, plain and without branches. [ 1 ] Brown and smooth in appearance, these structural characteristics display a resemblance to modern brown algae. [ 2 ]
A genus of middle Cambrian sponges known from the Burgess Shale and other localities from the Lower and Middle Cambrian. Its name is derived from the Latin crumilla ("money purse") and spongia ("sponge"), a reflection of its similarity to a small leathery money purse. Diagoniella: Hexactinellida: Walcott Quarry; Trilobite Beds; Tulip Beds ...
Dulse is one of many edible algae. Algaculture may become an important part of a healthy and sustainable food system [11]. Several species of algae are raised for food. While algae have qualities of a sustainable food source, "producing highly digestible proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, and are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals" and e.g. having a high protein ...
Proaulopora is a Cambrian–Ordovician fossil genus of calcareous algae. It has been variously thought to belong to the green algae, red algae or cyanobacteria. It was originally established by the Russian paleontologist Aleksandr Grigoryevich Vologdin in 1937, for species known from the Lower Cambrian of the western Altai Mountains. [1] [2]

Estimated to reach 34.2–37.8 cm (13.5–14.9 in) long excluding the frontal appendages and tail fan, [4] Anomalocaris is one of the largest animals of the Cambrian, and thought to be one of the earliest examples of an apex predator, [5] [6] though others have been found in older Cambrian lagerstätten deposits.
Marine algae can be divided into six groups: green, red and brown algae, euglenophytes, dinoflagellates and diatoms. Dinoflagellates and diatoms are important components of marine algae and have their own sections below. Euglenophytes are a phylum of unicellular flagellates with only a few marine members. Not all algae are microscopic.
These algae are notable for having an intracellular network of 10 nm proteinaceous filaments, possibly for the storage and transport of ribonucleoprotein particles. [ 6 ] Because of all these properties, and the fact that they are easy to manipulate they have been favorite organisms in the study of the role of the nucleus vs the unnucleated ...
