Abstract

Isolated sclerites of the genus Wiwaxia are reported from shale interlayers in lower levels of middle Cambrian (unnamed 3rd Series of Cambrian) Buchava Formation in the Skryje-Týřovice Basin in the Czech Republic interpreted as shallow-water sediments. Geographic distribution of Wiwaxia indicates latitudinal control as all occurrences are obviously restricted to tropical belt.
