A newly described fossil from Utah reveals a pincer-wielding sea creature from the Cambrian. It may be one of the oldest relatives of spiders, scorpions and horseshoe crabs (Not an April Fool's joke, I swear!) 🕷️ 🦂 Latest for @NYTScience : nytimes.com/2026/04/01/scien…

🚨Another little promotional piece, this time from our collaborators in Utah. I hope this blog post will help, even in a small way, to raise awareness among Utahns about the fantastic Cambrian paleontological archive their state holds. @NHMU @BLMUtah nhmu.utah.edu/articles/2024/…

The MCZ was awarded a new digitization grant and we have two new positions to fill! We are looking for curatorial assistants (one full-time, one part-time) to rehouse and digitize our invertebrate microscope slide collections. bit.ly/48dxQJJ and bit.ly/48dwqy

🚨Paper alert🚨Meet Polygoniella turrelli, our latest addition to the remarkable Cambrian Marjum Biota of Utah. This 500-million-year-old sponge displays a complex anatomy that has no equivalent amongst poriferans of that time. @Ldelmouro @InvertebratePal doi.org/10.1098/rsos.231845

Nice specimen of Falcatamacaris bellua (Cambrian Weeks Fm., Utah)? Hell yeah! Worth $17,000? I am not a collector, but I do not think so...

A little something to read for my French colleagues about our latest paper describing a new early vertebrate from the mid-Cambrian Marjum Fm. of Utah.
