A new fossil has been found preserved upside-down, showing a clearer view of the feeding appendages and nervous system: http://science.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/27/17119273-500-million-year-old-sea-creature-unearthed

I don't know much about this subject, if someone is watching this page perhaps they might feel it's worth adding to the article. There's a lovely picture too. Azkm (talk) 18:39, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

I tried to substitute "clade = Panarthropoda" for "phylum = Arthropod." The deletion of "phylum = Arthropod" took, but I can't seem to insert "clade = Panarthropoda" in the TaxBox. What am I doing wrong?

As to the justification for the change, Fuxianhuiids are stem-group euarthropods (arthropods), not crown-group euarthropods (arthropods). That means that they are within Panarthropoda but OUTSIDE of Euarthropoda (Arthropoda). Fuxianhuia protensa is a Fuxianhuiid.Ray Glock-Grueneich (talk) 00:49, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * For inserting Panarthropoda into the taxobox, try something like "unranked_superphylum = Panarthropoda" As for Fuxianhuiids being stem-group euarthropods, all research and researchers I know of are all unanimous about fuxianhuiids unequivocally (eu)arthropods, but ones that are closer to the basal arthropod than trilobites or insects.  Otherwise, a panarthropod outside of Euarthropoda would be like a tardigrade.  Plus, if Fuxianhuia was outside of Euarthropoda, then it would be outside of Chelicerata, too, by default.--Mr Fink (talk) 01:09, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
