Shallow-water occurrence of Wiwaxia in the middle Cambrian of the Barrandian area, Czech Republic
Oldřich Fatka, Petr Kraft, and Michal Szabad
Isolated sclerites of the genus Wiwaxia are reported from shale interlayers in lower levels of middle Cambrian (un−
named 3rd Series of Cambrian) Buchava Formation in the Skryje−Týřovice Basin in the Czech Republic interpreted
as shallow−water sediments. Geographic distribution of Wiwaxia indicates latitudinal control as all occurrences are
obviously restricted to tropical belt.
