Placement in clade[edit]

I'm not sure what the sources are for the placement of this group, but Lieberman (2003) in Journal of Palaeontology has the hierarchy as follows:

Phylum: Paneuarthropoda (the stem group of the Euarthropoda)
Class: Dinocarida

(Wikipedia has the Phylum as Lobopodia, which I'm not sure is current anymore)

Lower ranks are:

Order: Radiodonta
Family: Anomalocarididae

As these early fossil faunas are controversial to classify, I just wanted to check before proceeding with a significant edit. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rolf Schmidt (talkcontribs) 06:11, 14 March 2008.
