Additional Information
Description:
Luolishania longicruris is a lobopodian worm from the Early Cambrian, Chengjiang biota, China
Luolishania is an anatomically complex lobopodian. The matrix that preserves these fossils is a fine grained mudstone. The body has ringlike anatomical structures that occur on the trunk where the legs join the body. Spines exist at these points, 1 in the middle and 1 on either side. For an excellent description of these creatures, refer to the book: "The Cambrian Fossils of Chengjiang, China", published by Wiley Blackwell - ISBN: 9781118896389. The book is in its second edition.
