Class (biology)

In biological classification, class (classis) is a taxonomic rank, as well as a taxonomic unit, a taxon, in that rank.

See Naraoia and Class (biology)

Crustacean

Crustaceans are a group of arthropods that are a part of the subphylum Crustacea, a large, diverse group of mainly aquatic arthropods including decapods (shrimps, prawns, crabs, lobsters and crayfish), seed shrimp, branchiopods, fish lice, krill, remipedes, isopods, barnacles, copepods, opossum shrimps, amphipods and mantis shrimp.

Detritivore

Detritivores (also known as detrivores, detritophages, detritus feeders or detritus eaters) are heterotrophs that obtain nutrients by consuming detritus (decomposing plant and animal parts as well as feces).

See Naraoia and Detritivore

Earthworm

An earthworm is a soil-dwelling terrestrial invertebrate that belongs to the phylum Annelida.

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.

Harry B. Whittington

Harry Blackmore Whittington FRS (24 March 1916 – 20 June 2010) was a British palaeontologist who made a major contribution to the study of fossils of the Burgess Shale and other Cambrian fauna.

Misszhouia

Misszhouia is a genus of small to average sized (up to long) marine trilobite-like arthropods within the Naraoiidae family, that lived during the early Cambrian period. Naraoia and Misszhouia are Cambrian genus extinctions, Maotianshan shales fossils and Nektaspida.
