Title

Fossil data from the Cambrian of the Baltic Basin (NERC Grant NE/K005251/1)

Abstract

Image data and figures of holotypes of small carbonaceous fossils from Cambrian sediments of the Baltic Basin. Also included are sampling information and fossil measurement data. Data collected from Sweden (mainland and Baltic islands) and Estonia (northern coastline). This information is relevant to the following publications: Slater, B.J., Harvey, T.H., Guilbaud, R. and Butterfield, N.J., 2017. A cryptic record of Burgess Shale-type diversity from the early Cambrian of Baltica.

Samples for microfossil processing were collected from mudstones and siltstones of Cambrian age from a variety of localities in the Baltic region. For precise details of processing procedure see: Slater, B.J., Harvey, T.H., Guilbaud, R. and Butterfield, N.J., 2017.
