Resumen:
Over one hundred years of palaeontological research in northwestern Argentina has provided extensive knowledge of
Andean lower Palaeozoic fossil assemblages, with trilobites, graptolites, brachiopods and echinoderms being among
the most prominent groups. This record is enriched by the recent discovery of soft-bodied worms in Cambrian
outcrops of northwestern Argentina. Palaeoscolex sp. cf. P. ratcliffei from the Furongian Lampazar Formation in
Jujuy is described, considerably expanding the biogeographical range of this genus and filling the distributional gap,
between the well-known earlymiddle Cambrian occurrences of Palaeoscolex and those of its Ordovician species.Palaeoscolex sp. cf. P. ratcliffei from the Furongian Lampazar Formation in
