Winneshiekia youngae, an Ordovician dekatriatan chelicerate. It shares traits with e.g., xiphosurans (such as the eye ridge) and chasmataspidids (13-segmented opisthosoma).

Previously, the body of Innovatiocaris was assigned to this genus, however, that interpretation is inaccurate and was a chimera. A few fossils belonging to this genus show the region beyond its appendages, but they were not formally described or the main subject of any study.

Houcaris consimilis (=Ramskoeldia consimilis) is a Lower Cambrian predatory radiodont from the Chengjiang Biota.

Sorry for being off-topic, but speaking of harvestmen, here's my Hastocularis model. I'm currently working on the textures and materials. Once I finish them, I'll make a scene or more and maybe share the model for printing. Feel free to express your opinion on it.

Liwia, a Lower Cambrian nektaspid belonging to the family Liwiidae, was found in the Zawiszyn Formation, known only from borehole samples, which revealed these inaccessible beauties hidden kilometers underground.

The Waukesha Biota is a Silurian Lagerstätte preserving many soft-bodied organisms, but rarely any hard carapaces. The scene below shows only a part of its rich fauna.
(It's my first 3d paleoart scene, and I think it turned out well. Rendered thanks to @prehistorica.art)
