Salterellidae
Description | Salterellidae is a family of enigmatic fossil genera from the Early to Middle Cambrian. It was originally created for the genus Salterella by Charles Doolittle Walcott, who placed it in the group Pteropoda. It was later placed in Agmata, a proposed extinct phylum by Ellis L. Yochelson which is accepted by some other authors.
