Arthropod
Arthropods are invertebrates in the phylum Arthropoda.
Arthropod leg
The arthropod leg is a form of jointed appendage of arthropods, usually used for walking.
See Sidneyia and Arthropod leg
Artiopoda
The Artiopoda is a grouping of extinct arthropods that includes trilobites and their close relatives.
Benthos
Benthos, also known as benthon, is the community of organisms that live on, in, or near the bottom of a sea, river, lake, or stream, also known as the benthic zone.
Brachiopod
Brachiopods, phylum Brachiopoda, are a phylum of trochozoan animals that have hard "valves" (shells) on the upper and lower surfaces, unlike the left and right arrangement in bivalve molluscs.
Bradoriida
Bradoriida, also called bradoriids, are an extinct order of small marine arthropods with a bivalved carapace, which globally distributed, forming a significant portion of the Cambrian and Early Ordovician soft-bodied communities.
British Columbia
British Columbia (commonly abbreviated as BC) is the westernmost province of Canada.
See Sidneyia and British Columbia
Burgess Shale
The Burgess Shale is a fossil-bearing deposit exposed in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada. Sidneyia and Burgess Shale are Burgess Shale fossils.
See Sidneyia and Burgess Shale
Cambrian Stage 3
Cambrian Stage 3 is the still unnamed third stage of the Cambrian.
See Sidneyia and Cambrian Stage 3
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.
See Sidneyia and Charles Doolittle Walcott
Durophagy
Durophagy is the eating behavior of animals that consume hard-shelled or exoskeleton-bearing organisms, such as corals, shelled mollusks, or crabs.
Emeraldella
Emeraldella is a genus of arthropod known from the Middle Cambrian of North America. Sidneyia and Emeraldella are Artiopoda, Burgess Shale fossils, Cambrian genus extinctions, Prehistoric arthropod genera and Wheeler Shale.
Fossil
A fossil (from Classical Latin) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.
Horseshoe crab
Horseshoe crabs are marine and brackish water arthropods of the family Limulidae and are the only surviving xiphosurans.
See Sidneyia and Horseshoe crab
Hypostome (trilobite)
The hypostome is the hard mouthpart of trilobites found on the ventral side of the cephalon (head).
See Sidneyia and Hypostome (trilobite)
Maotianshan Shales
The Maotianshan Shales are a series of Early Cambrian sedimentary deposits in the Chiungchussu Formation, famous for their Konservat Lagerstätten, deposits known for the exceptional preservation of fossilized organisms or traces. Sidneyia and Maotianshan Shales are Maotianshan shales fossils.
See Sidneyia and Maotianshan Shales
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. Sidneyia and Paleobiota of the Burgess Shale are Burgess Shale fossils.
See Sidneyia and Paleobiota of the Burgess Shale
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences is a biweekly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Royal Society.
See Sidneyia and Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B
Phyllopod bed
The Phyllopod bed, designated by USNM locality number 35k, is the most famous fossil-bearing member of the Burgess Shale fossil Lagerstätte.
See Sidneyia and Phyllopod bed
Sclerotin
Sclerotin is a component of the cuticle of various Arthropoda, most familiarly insects.
Sirius Passet
Sirius Passet is a Cambrian Lagerstätte in Peary Land, Greenland.
See Sidneyia and Sirius Passet
Species
A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.
Spence Shale
The Spence Shale is the middle member of the Langston Formation in southeastern Idaho and northeastern Utah.
Telson
The telson is the hindmost division of the body of an arthropod.
Tergum
A tergum (Latin for "the back";: terga, associated adjective tergal) is the dorsal ('upper') portion of an arthropod segment other than the head.
Trilobite
Trilobites (meaning "three lobes") are extinct marine arthropods that form the class Trilobita. Sidneyia and Trilobite are Artiopoda.
Wuliuan
The Wuliuan stage is the fifth stage of the Cambrian, and the first stage of the Miaolingian Series of the Cambrian.
