Aegirocassis
Aegirocassis is an extinct genus of giant radiodont arthropod belonging to the family Hurdiidae that lived 480 million years ago during the early Ordovician in the Fezouata Formation of Morocco. Hurdia and Aegirocassis are radiodonta.
Anomalocaris
Anomalocaris ("unlike other shrimp", or "abnormal shrimp") is an extinct genus of radiodont, an order of early-diverging stem-group arthropods. Hurdia and Anomalocaris are Burgess Shale fossils, Cambrian arthropods, Cambrian genus extinctions and radiodonta.
Benthic zone
The benthic zone is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean, lake, or stream, including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers.
Burgess Shale
The Burgess Shale is a fossil-bearing deposit exposed in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada. Hurdia and Burgess Shale are Burgess Shale fossils.
Cambrian
The Cambrian is the first geological period of the Paleozoic Era, and the Phanerozoic Eon.
Cambroraster
Cambroraster is an extinct monotypic genus of hurdiid radiodont, dating to the middle Cambrian, and represented by the single formally described species Cambroraster falcatus. Hurdia and Cambroraster are Burgess Shale fossils, Cambrian arthropods, Cambrian genus extinctions and radiodonta.
Charles Doolittle Walcott
Charles Doolittle Walcott (March 31, 1850February 9, 1927) was an American paleontologist, administrator of the Smithsonian Institution from 1907 to 1927, and director of the United States Geological Survey.

Desmond H. Collins
Desmond H. Collins is a Canadian paleontologist, associate professor of zoology at the University of Toronto and retired curator of invertebrate paleontology at the Royal Ontario Museum.
See Hurdia and Desmond H. Collins
Extinction
Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.
Fezouata Formation
The Fezouata Formation or Fezouata Shale is a geological formation in Morocco which dates to the Early Ordovician.
See Hurdia and Fezouata Formation
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.
See Hurdia and Genus
Gill
A gill is a respiratory organ that many aquatic organisms use to extract dissolved oxygen from water and to excrete carbon dioxide.
See Hurdia and Gill
Hurdiidae
Hurdiidae (synonymous with the previously named Peytoiidae) is an extinct cosmopolitan family of radiodonts, a group of stem-group arthropods, which lived during the Paleozoic Era. Hurdia and Hurdiidae are radiodonta.
Miaolingian
The Miaolingian is the third Series of the Cambrian Period, and was formally named in 2018.
Mount Hurd
Mount Hurd is a mountain in the Ottertail Range of the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia, Canada.
Nomen dubium
In binomial nomenclature, a nomen dubium (Latin for "doubtful name", plural nomina dubia) is a scientific name that is of unknown or doubtful application.
Ordovician
The Ordovician is a geologic period and system, the second of six periods of the Paleozoic Era.
Paleobiota of the Burgess Shale
This is a list of the biota of the Burgess Shale, a Cambrian lagerstätte located in Yoho National Park in Canada. Hurdia and Paleobiota of the Burgess Shale are Burgess Shale fossils.
See Hurdia and Paleobiota of the Burgess Shale
Phyllopod bed
The Phyllopod bed, designated by USNM locality number 35k, is the most famous fossil-bearing member of the Burgess Shale fossil Lagerstätte.
Pioche Shale
The Pioche Shale is an Early to Middle Cambrian Burgess shale-type Lagerstätte in Nevada.
Qingjiang biota
The Qingjiang biota are a major discovery of fossilized remains dating from the early Cambrian period approximately 518 million years ago.
See Hurdia and Qingjiang biota
Radiodonta
Radiodonta is an extinct order of stem-group arthropods that was successful worldwide during the Cambrian period.
Royal Ontario Museum
The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is a museum of art, world culture and natural history in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Sclerite
A sclerite (Greek σκληρός, sklēros, meaning "hard") is a hardened body part.
Spence Shale
The Spence Shale is the middle member of the Langston Formation in southeastern Idaho and northeastern Utah.
Wheeler Shale
The Wheeler Shale (named by Charles Walcott) is a Cambrian (507 Ma) fossil locality world-famous for prolific agnostid and Elrathia kingii trilobite remains (even though many areas are barren of fossils) and represents a Konzentrat-Lagerstätte.
