Abstract

Well-preserved, silicified Obruchevella from the earliest Cambrian (Meishucun Stage) sequence from Meishucun section in Yunnan Province, China contains distinct cross-partitioning. This suggests that this helically coiled microfossil represents the remains of an oscillatorialean cyanophyta. Obruchevella is a microfossil that exhibits a variety of form that may be produced through degradation. Obruchevella identified in the Meishucun section includes O: parva, O. parvissima, O. delicata, O. meishucunensis and several other morphs which are yet to be identified.
