Abstract

A new genus and species Monoshanites dentatus gen. et sp. nov. of asymmetric sclerites of problematic animal organisms belonging to the family Siphogonuchitidae is described from the Khevte–Tsakhir–Nuruu section of Western Mongolia (Tommotian Stage, Beds with Halkieria amorpha, Bayangol Formation). The microstructure of sclerites with a double wall was studied: the inner layer is lamellar, the outer layer is columnar.

Keywords

Cambrian, sclerites, microstructure, morphology, systematic position, Western Mongolia, Siphogonuchitidae, Monoshanites gen. nov.
