    摘要:

    1 IntroductionThe Guanshan Fauna is one of the most significantdiscoveries after the Chengjiang Fauna (Zhang and Hou1985) and the Kaili Fauna (Zhao et al., 1994). Initialinvestigation shows that the Guanshan Fauna is dominatedby trilobites, associated with Tuzoia, VetulicolaPaleoscolex, brachiopods, and sponges. Generally, theGuanshan Fauna belongs to the "Burgess Shale-typeFauna" (Conway Morris, 1992) in preservation andtaxonomic aspects.In October 1995, one specimen of Vetulicola w…

    Abstract:

    The Guanshan Fauna, a soft-bodied fauna intermediate between the Chengjiang Fauna and the Kaili Fauna and also the Burgess Shale Fauna stratigraphically, consists of trilobites, trilobitoides, Tuzoia, Vetulicola, Paleoscolex, brachiopods and sponges. The discovery and research of this fauna is of great significance in understading the "Cambrian Explosion" and the evolution of early life. The occurrence of vetulicoliids from the Guanshan Fauna not only adds new members to the taxonomic list, but also provides new information to the evolution of this animal group. This paper describe Vetulicola gantoucunensis Luo, Fu et Hu sp. nov. from the Lower Cambrian Wulongqing Formation in the Kunming area. Also presented are the amended description of Vetulicola and the comparisons with related genera within Vetulicoliids. The affinity, distribution, as well as evolution of vetulicoliids are discussed.
