Extract

The Archaeocyatha were marine organisms developing mineral skeletons and using calcium carbonate for this purpose. Remains of their cups are found in carbonate shelfs and reef environments of the Early Cambrian seas. Few representatives of the family Archaeocyathidae are found through the Middle Cambrian to the Upper Cambrian (Debrenne, Rozanov and Webers, in press).
