Biology:Jinningella

From HandWiki

Jinningella is a genus of sunellid arthropod.[1][2][3]

Description

Jinningella is similar to the genus Sunella and Combinivalvula in general anatomy, differing in the fact that no sexual dimorphism is known and the possession of anterodorsal nodes.[1][2] It reached around 10 mm (1 cm).[3] Other sunellids reached similar sizes, Combinivalvula reached a similar size, Caudicaella specimens can be up to 12 mm (1.2 cm) and the largest Sunella fossil was roughly 15 mm (1.5 cm).[1][3]

Distribution

Jinningella fossils are only found in the Chengjiang biota.[2]
