Figure 2. Illustration of morphological terminology used for Cambrian gogiids from Guizhou Province, China, based on latex casts. See text for details. All scale bars = 5 mm. (a) New early Cambrian species (gogiid sp. 2) with distinctive break in the junction between the theca and holdfast from the Balang Formation, KW-8–229. (b) New early Cambrian species (gogiid sp. 1) with gradational transition between the theca and holdfast from the Balang Formation, ZJ 001. (c) Sinoeocrinus lui from the Kaili Formation, GM-9–5–3701. (d) ‘Sinoeocrinus globus’ from the Kaili Formation, GM-9–4–445. (e) Enlarged view of the holdfast of a S. lui, GTBJ-16–2–26. (f) Enlarged view of the holdfast of a ‘S. globus’, which is a different specimen on the same slab as (d) GM-9–4–445.
