Description
Lateral reconstructions of the problematic animal, Nectocaris pteryx, from the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale of British Columbia. The rarest of all Burgess Shale animals, Nectocaris is known from only one fossil specimen. This enigmatic swimmer has been variously described as an arthropod and as a primitive chordate, but its true biological affinity is yet to be resolved. Its size is about 2 cm. long.
