Yohoia and Scenella

Cambrian, Burgess Shale, BC, Canada

20mm Yohoia arthropod and 6mm Scenella on 68mm slab from the famous Burgess Shale. Yohoia is famous for its large, grasping appendages near the head, while Scenella is still a mystery, despite looking like a small cap shell. Scenella has been classified as a mollusc, brachiopod and even a cnidarian, but seems to be part of a larger animal like Halkieria, itself thought to be related to monoplacophoran molluscs.
