Abstract

Unique, semi-three-dimensional material from the Siberian Platform of the earliest known Cam-brian rhabdopleurids with preserved soft tissues is studied. The structures of the external exoskeleton (coeno-ecium, tubes, and fuselli) are considered. Elements of soft tissue (hard and soft stolons, zooidal body, lopho-phores, pleural disk, mouth, and anus are described).
