Abstract
Bradoriid arthropods are described from the Kap Troedsson and Henson Gletscher formations of North Greenland and the Bastion Formation of North-East Greenland (Cambrian Series 2, Stage 4). Hipponicharion skovstedi n. sp. and Beyrichona avannga n. sp. represent species of genera originally described from Avalonia (New Brunswick) that are characteristic of middle-latitude assemblages in the early Cambrian. They are described for the first time from low-latitude environments in the early Cambrian of Laurentia where they occur together in a middle to upper carbonate ramp succession. Navarana n. gen. is proposed for a rare hipponicharionid currently known only from North Greenland.
