“…It is the most fossiliferous Cambrian formation in the Iberian Chains with a high number of described taxa including trilobites, brachiopods, echinoderms, sponges, algae and rare nontrilobite arthropods (such as palaeoscolecids; Liñán and Gozalo 1986; García‐Bellido et al . 2007; Zamora 2010 a ; Mergl and Zamora 2012).…”

The edrioasteroid, Aragocystites belli gen. nov. sp. nov. from the middle Cambrian Murero Formation of Spain, is described based on a small number of very well-preserved specimens. Important anatomical characteristics include starshaped and pseudoclavate theca, rare or absent epispires, well-developed interradially positioned oral plates and several unorganized cover plates associated with each widely exposed flooring plate. A phylogenetic analysis including several Cambro-Ordovician species shows it is more derived than Stromatocystites and Totiglobus but is a sister group to a clade comprising Cambraster and Edriodiscus. Ontogenetic observations based on juveniles of 5 mm in diameter suggest that this species changed thecal shape markedly during growth. A. belli gen. nov. sp. nov. probably lived in quiet environments where it attached directly to the sea floor on stabilized substrates.

This stratigraphic group is widely known as a rich source of trilobite species and other fossils such as bradoriids, nektaspids, brachiopods, echinoderms, sponges, hyoliths, palaeoscolecids, lobopods or radiodontans, algae and ichnofossils (Sdzuy, 1961;Liñán & Gozalo, 1986;Mergl & Liñán, 1986;Gámez-Vintaned & Mayoral, 1992Liñán et al, 1996cLiñán et al, , 2008Liñán & Mergl, 2001;García-Bellido et al, 2007Gozalo et al, 2004Gozalo et al, , 2008Gozalo et al, , 2018Zamora, 2010;Mergl & Zamora, 2012;Pates & Daley, 2017;.

The trilobite species of three genera included in the Family Solenopleuridae: Parasolenopleura, Badulesia, and Pardailhania are revised. These genera have a great biostratigraphic interest due to their broad distribution in the Miaolingian Series (former middle Cambrian) of the Mediterranean Subprovince and because they constitute an evolutionary lineage, that facilitates an accurate regional correlation. Two of these genera (Pardailhania and Badulesia) have been used to define middle Cambrian zones in Spain (lower and middle Caesaraugustan, equivalent to the uppermost Wuliuan and the lower Drumian stages). Although, all authors have been using the same species to establish the Mediterranean biozonation of this interval time, the zone concept has been modifi ed since Sdzuy's original idea.

A comprehensive review and phylogenetic analysis of genera and species presently assigned to the rhynchonelliform superfamily Nisusioidea and family Nisusiidae suggests that this short‐lived but important group of brachiopods first appeared in peri‐Gondwana during the second half of the Cambrian Series 2, before going extinct by the end of Drumian times. Nisusiides achieved their maximum morphological disparity and geographical distribution during the Wuliuan Age, and Laurentia was probably the major centre of their dispersal. A new phylogenetic analysis suggests an early separation of the lineages of spinose and non‐spinose nisusiids. The non‐spinose nisusiids probably evolved in Laurentia by the end of Cambrian Series 4. The new nisusiid genus Bellistrophia is described. The new species Nisusia multicostata represents the first documented rhynchonelliform (kutorginide) brachiopod from the Miaolingian (Drumian) of the Alborz Mountains, Iran.
