Camenellan

The camenellans, consisting of the genera Camenella, Dailyatia, Kennardia, Kelanella, Wufengella and Lapworthella, are a group of Tommotiid invertebrates from the Cambrian period, reconstructed as sister to all others. They are primarily known from isolated sclerites, but are believed to have a scleritomous, Halkieria-like construction. This was confirmed by the discovery of Wufengella, known from articulated remains, which showed camenellans to be mobile, worm-like animals.

Taxonomy
Two families: Kennardiidae Laurie, 1986: three sclerite morphs, one of which (conventionally termed the A morph) is bilaterally symmetrical, the other two occurring in sinistral and dextral variants. Includes Kennardia and Dailyatia, and questionably Shetlandia Lapworthellidae: sclerites occur in something of a morphological continuum, but essentially form a single type with a sinistral and dextral version, possibly with the anterior-most pair of sclerites fusing into a single bilaterally-symmetrical, dual-tipped sclerite.
