Arthropod
Arthropods are invertebrates in the phylum Arthropoda.
Carapace
A carapace is a dorsal (upper) section of the exoskeleton or shell in a number of animal groups, including arthropods, such as crustaceans and arachnids, as well as vertebrates, such as turtles and tortoises.
Cephalothorax
The cephalothorax, also called prosoma in some groups, is a tagma of various arthropods, comprising the head and the thorax fused together, as distinct from the abdomen behind.
See Bembicosoma and Cephalothorax
Chelicerata
The subphylum Chelicerata (from Neo-Latin) constitutes one of the major subdivisions of the phylum Arthropoda.
See Bembicosoma and Chelicerata
Clade
In biological phylogenetics, a clade, also known as a monophyletic group or natural group, is a grouping of organisms that are monophyletic – that is, composed of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants – on a phylogenetic tree.
Deposition (geology)
Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass.
See Bembicosoma and Deposition (geology)
Eurypterid
Eurypterids, often informally called sea scorpions, are a group of extinct arthropods that form the order Eurypterida.
See Bembicosoma and Eurypterid
Fossil
A fossil (from Classical Latin) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Geologic time scale
The geologic time scale or geological time scale (GTS) is a representation of time based on the rock record of Earth.
See Bembicosoma and Geologic time scale
Natural History Museum of Bern
The Natural History Museum of Bern (Naturhistorisches Museum Bern) is a museum in Bern, Switzerland.
See Bembicosoma and Natural History Museum of Bern
Opisthosoma
The opisthosoma is the posterior part of the body in some arthropods, behind the prosoma (cephalothorax).
See Bembicosoma and Opisthosoma
Paraphyly
Paraphyly is a taxonomic term describing a grouping that consists of the grouping's last common ancestor and some but not all of its descendant lineages.
Pentland Hills
The Pentland Hills are a range of hills southwest of Edinburgh, Scotland.
See Bembicosoma and Pentland Hills
Planaterga
Planaterga is a clade of prosomapod euchelicerates including several synziphosurid genera (mainly bunodids and pseudoniscids) and the group Dekatriata (which in turn includes arachnids, chasmataspidids and eurypterids). Bembicosoma and Planaterga are chelicerata stubs.

Scotland
Scotland (Scots: Scotland; Scottish Gaelic: Alba) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.
Silurian
The Silurian is a geologic period and system spanning 24.6 million years from the end of the Ordovician Period, at million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Devonian Period, Mya.
Synziphosurina
Synziphosurina is a paraphyletic group of chelicerate arthropods previously thought to be basal horseshoe crabs (Xiphosura).
See Bembicosoma and Synziphosurina
Type species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (species typica) is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen (or specimens).
See Bembicosoma and Type species
United Kingdom
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom (UK) or Britain, is a country in Northwestern Europe, off the coast of the continental mainland.
