英文摘要The origin of Bryozoa has long been an intriguing mystery, largely due to the dearth of unambiguous bryozoan fossils within Cambrian strata. The earliest bryozoan thus far identified, Protomelission, an early Cambrian microfossil from Australia and China, was recently contested and proposed to be dasyclad algae. Our reanalysis of micro-computed tomography data from Protomelission specimens, however, unveils previously unrevealed structures, indicating Protomelission to be neither bryozoan nor alga, but a scleritome of Cambroclavus, an early Cambrian microfossil typically found as disarticulated sclerites. The long-sought scleritomes suggest that enigmatic cambroclaves likely represent an extinct group of epitheliozoan-grade eumetazoan, with spiny sclerites covering their epidermis for defense. The prevalence of bizarre animals like cambroclaves, lacking modern analogues, implies a greater disparity of animal body plans during the Cambrian explosion than previously recognized. Our findings underscore the absence of definitive early Cambrian bryozoan fossils, further highlighting the dilemma of the origin of Bryozoa.
