Arthropod leg
The arthropod leg is a form of jointed appendage of arthropods, usually used for walking.
See Pakucaris and Arthropod leg
Artiopoda
The Artiopoda is a grouping of extinct arthropods that includes trilobites and their close relatives.
Burgess Shale
The Burgess Shale is a fossil-bearing deposit exposed in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada. Pakucaris and Burgess Shale are Burgess Shale fossils.
See Pakucaris and Burgess Shale
Filter feeder
Filter feeders are aquatic animals that acquire nutrients by feeding on organic matters, food particles or smaller organisms (bacteria, microalgae and zooplanktons) suspended in water, typically by having the water pass over or through a specialized filtering organ.
See Pakucaris and Filter feeder
Hymenocarina
Hymenocarina is an order of extinct arthropods known from the Cambrian. Pakucaris and Hymenocarina are Cambrian arthropods.
See Pakucaris and Hymenocarina
Marble Canyon (Canadian Rockies)
Marble Canyon is a canyon surrounding Tokumm Creek just above its confluence with the Vermilion River, at the north end of Kootenay National Park in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada.

Monotypic taxon
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon.
See Pakucaris and Monotypic taxon
Pygidium
The pygidium (pygidia) is the posterior body part or shield of crustaceans and some other arthropods, such as insects and the extinct trilobites.
