The non-mineralized arthropod described herein is derived from the Sirius Passet fossil conservation deposit of North Greenland (82°47.6′N, 42°13.7′W), the oldest locality with exceptional preservation of soft tissues known from the Cambrian of Laurentia (Cambrian Series 2, Stage 3; Nevadella Zone). As such, it is broadly contemporaneous with the Chengjiang fauna of China (Hou et al., 2004) and some 10 million years older than the Burgess Shale fauna of British Columbia.
