1. Palaeobiology and Chemostratigraphy of the Precambrian - Cambrian Transitional Beds on the Siberian Platform
Abstract : Biological innovations during the Precambrian-Cambrian transition opened evolutionary gates towards the modem biosphere. Two interrelated aspects of this process are investigated. The first one is the ecological radiation and beginning of calcareous biomineralization in mollusc-like organisms (shelled molluscs, coeloscleritophorans, and hyoliths). READ MORE

2. The Cambrian lophotrochozoans of the Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica
Abstract : The origin of many lophotrochozoan groups can be traced to “small shelly fossil” (SSF) faunas of the Early Cambrian. Antarctica is a key region of study, due to the continent’s known close geographical proximity to well-studied Australian and Indian basins in in the Cambrian. READ MORE

3. The Early Cambrian Fauna of North-East Greenland
Abstract : Small shelly fossils are common in sediments of Early Cambrian age and include the earliest common representatives of metazoan animals with mineralized hard parts. The group includes fossils of very different morphology, composition and ultrastructure. READ MORE

4. Early Cambrian Problematic Lophotrochozoans and Dilemmas of Scleritome Reconstructions
Abstract : The emergence and radiation of metazoan body plans around the Precambrian/Cambrian boundary, some 500-600 million years ago, seems to be concordant with the appearance and diversification of preservable hard parts. Several Precambrian soft-bodied, multicellular organisms most likely represent stem-group bilaterians, but their fossil record is rather sparse. READ MORE
