  • From elsewhere:

Archaeopriapulida is a group of priapulid-like worms known from Cambrian lagerstatte.[17] The group is closely related to, and very similar to, the modern Priapulids.[18] It is unclear whether it is mono- or polyphyletic.[19] Despite a remarkable morphological similarity to their modern cousins,[20] they fall outside of the priapulid crown group, which is not unambiguously represented in the fossil record until the Carboniferous.[21] They are probably closely related or paraphyletic to the palaeoscolecids; the relationship between these basal worms is somewhat unresolved.[19]
