Abstract [en]

New material of disarticulated paleoscolecid remains have been found in “Small Shelly/Skeletal Fossils” assemblages from Cambrian Stage 3 extracted from a section in the Khubsugul Lake region of northern Mongolia. The current material is composed of isolated phosphatic plates, rendering the whole-body reconstruction and comparisons difficult. However, the morphology of the plates is unique enough to warrant description of a new genus and species Floraconformis egiinensis. The new taxon is characterised by a stellate depression network spreading from the middle that separates numerous elevations. Floraconformis egiinensis gen. et sp. nov. represents one of the oldest records of isolated palaeoscolecid plates.
