| Progress and Prospect of Research on Orsten-type Fossils from South China |
| Orsten-type fossils are mainly tiny arthropods whose soft-body is preserved by the impregnation of their cuticle with phosphate. The Orsten-type material is quite unusual because the imbedding animals are preserved in three dimensions instead of being flattened like those observed in the Chengjiang Fauna. These fossils look like living animals, and their detailed morphological characteristics provide convincing evidence of the body plan, evolution, systematics and ontogeny of Cambrian arthropods. Because of the great importance of Orsten-type fossils, many Chinese paleontologists have been working constantly to search for them in Cambrian strata all over China for more than 20 years. Southern China is well known as one of the most important regions in the world, and is expected to have great potential for yielding many Orsten-type fossils. The research on Orsten-type fossils is challenging and will surely attract more attention. |
