Ancestral echinoderms from the Chengjiang deposits of ChinaD G Shu
School of Earth Sciences and Resources, China University of Geosciences, Beijing 100083, China
Nature 430:422-8. 2004..They appear to have similarities not only to the vetulicolians but also to the homalozoans, a bizarre group of primitive echinoderms whose phylogenetic position has been highly controversial...- Head and backbone of the Early Cambrian vertebrate HaikouichthysD G Shu
Early Life Institute and Department of Geology, Northwest University, Xi an, 710069, China
Nature 421:526-9. 2003.... - A new species of yunnanozoan with implications for deuterostome evolutionDegan Shu
Early Life Institute and Department of Geology, Northwest University, Xi an 710069, China
Science 299:1380-4. 2003..No evidence was found for the chordate-like structures that have been described in other yunnanozoans. We propose that yunnanozoans are stem-group deuterostomes, allied to the vetulicolians... - Lower Cambrian vendobionts from China and early diploblast evolutionD G Shu
Early Life Institute and Key Laboratory of Continental Dynamics, Northwest University, Xi an 710069, China
Science 312:731-4. 2006..Therefore, this finding has important implications for the early evolution of this phylum and related diploblasts, some of which independently evolved a frondose habit... - The earliest history of the deuterostomes: the importance of the Chengjiang Fossil-LagerstatteD G Shu
Early Life Institute and Key Laboratory of Continental Dynamics, Northwest University, Xi an 710069, People s Republic of China
Proc Biol Sci 277:165-74. 2010..Moreover, in the latter case we present new data to indicate that the yunnanozoans are unlikely to be any sort of chordate... - Primitive deuterostomes from the Chengjiang Lagerstätte (Lower Cambrian, China)D G Shu
Early Life Institute and Department of Geology, Northwest University, Xi an, China
Nature 414:419-24. 2001..Several features, notably a series of gill slits, suggest that this group can throw light on an early stage of deuterostome diversification... - An Early Cambrian tunicate from ChinaD G Shu
Early Life Institute and Department of Geology, Northwest University, Xi an
Nature 411:472-3. 2001..Here we report a probable tunicate Cheungkongella ancestralis from the Chengjiang fauna. It resembles the extant ascidian tunicate genus Styela whose morphology could be useful in understanding the origin of the vertebrates...
