A newly described fossil from Utah reveals a pincer-wielding sea creature from the Cambrian. It may be one of the oldest relatives of spiders, scorpions and horseshoe crabs (Not an April Fool's joke, I swear!) 🕷️ 🦂

Best conference logo ever!!! 😍 The Invertebrate Paleo Lab @MCZHarvard @HarvardOEB is totally visiting beautiful Chile 🇨🇱 next year to share some Cambrian and Ordovician creatures 🤩

🚨Another little promotional piece, this time from our collaborators in Utah. I hope this blog post will help, even in a small way, to raise awareness among Utahns about the fantastic Cambrian paleontological archive their state holds. @NHMU @BLMUtah https://t.co/RbZ7xKspLO

🚨 A bit of promotion for the work we do on the mid-Cambrian Marjum biota in Utah. Feel free to contact me if you want to know more. Thanks to the @royalsociety and our collaborators at the @MCZHarvard @NHMU @BLMUtah. https://t.co/tz0Gz5C9Zc

The MCZ was awarded a new digitization grant and we have two new positions to fill! We are looking for curatorial assistants (one full-time, one part-time) to rehouse and digitize our invertebrate microscope slide collections. https://t.co/I1jRWP1AQD and https://t.co/Cfzd7Bohhl

@Davey_F_Wright @alison_cribb @Royalcom1851 Really enjoyed the talk as well. Congrats on the publication of this paper 👏

The MCZ and @HarvardOEB welcome three new Biodiversity Postdoctoral Fellows this month: Valentine Bouju (entomology), Rodrigo T. Figueroa (vertebrate paleontology) and Cata Romero-Ortiz (invertebrate zoology). Applications for 2025 fellows are due Sept 30! https://t.co/uL7B4kIlqU

Another piece should be online soon ;)

[Rudy Lerosey-Aubril @PlLife2]

@Paleojim @BLMUtah @utahgeological @UtahPaleo Agree. I believe Utah's remarkable Cambrian heritage is often overshadowed by its renowned dinosaur fossil record. But we are working on its popularization within the state with @NHMU. Hopefully, we'll be given a chance to give some talks there and at UU soon.

🚨Paper alert🚨Meet Polygoniella turrelli, our latest addition to the remarkable Cambrian Marjum Biota of Utah. This 500-million-year-old sponge displays a complex anatomy that has no equivalent amongst poriferans of that time. @Ldelmouro @InvertebratePal https://t.co/X3aaDnGFNw

We are grateful to: @BLMUtah and @NHMU for a productive collaboration, @MCZHarvard for supporting our fieldwork (Putnam Expedition Grants) and the publication of this paper (Wetmore Colles Fund), @MCZpaleo for invaluable curatorial assistance, and palaeoartist @franzanth
