摘要

A sample of >800 specimens from the Lower Cambrian Latham Shale of California shows that among the most abundant trilobite species are Olenellus cf. clarki, O. nevadensis, Mesonacis fremonti, and Bristolia bristolensis, although abundance rank of species frequently varies by individual pit. Modal size for all olenelloids in the sample is comparable to several other deposits of similar age, and the size frequency distributions of the specimens indicates little or no size sorting. The trilobites of the Latham Shale demonstrate one of the lowest frequencies of articulation of any Cambrian deposit in the region. Cephalon orientation data on trilobite specimens indicate no statistically significant up-down trend, and azimuth orientations of the long axis of the glabella show no obvious preferred trend. Taphonomic results suggest that the Latham Shale trilobites were deposited in a shallow marine shelf with little turbulence, a low sedimentation rate, low oxygen levels, a moderate degree of shallow bioturbation, and possibly long bottom-exposure times for trilobite sclerites. Anoxic events and relatively rapid burial did sometimes converge to preserve soft-bodied taxa such as algae, worms and anomalocaridids.
