Abstract

Late Cambrian; great taxonomic diversity, China. One hundred and thirty species, assigned to 36 genera, in eight families and four orders, have been described, which is more than 90% of all known Cambrian cephalopod species. After modest beginnings in the late Franconian, cephalopods radiated into all available ecologic niches by middle Trempealeauan time, but came to near extinction before the end of the Cambrian. Only Ectenolites and Eoclarkoceras survived into the earliest Ordovician.--Modified journal abstract.
