Extinct arthropods of the Cambrian period. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list contains many extinct arthropod genera from the Cambrian Period of the Paleozoic Era. Some trilobites, bradoriids and phosphatocopines may not be included due to the lack of literature on these clades and inaccessibility of many papers describing their genera. This list also provides references for any Wikipedia users who intend to create pages for more obscure taxa.
