Description

KUMIP 355555 likely from the Olenellus zone or Waucoban Series, Dyeran stage, sensu Webster (2011a, b) and Webster et al. (2011), early Cambrian, Sekwi Formation, Northwest Territories, Canada, but occurring from Section 2 in float. Description. The addition of the new specimen figured here does not warrant a redescription of the species as only a partial thorax is present. At least six prothoracic segments and thirty-six opisthothoracic segments are visible in this specimen. The end of a spine found most abaxially to the right on the specimen is likely part of a macropleural T3 spine. The length of the prothoracic segments are long, some are longer than the length of the entire opisthothorax. Discussion. Assigning this specimen to Nephrolenellus (a genus known for having greater than 22 segments in the opisthothorax) is ruled out because the ... : Published as part of Gapp, I.
