Bathyuriscus : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bathyuriscus
''Bathyuriscus'' is an extinct genus of Cambrian trilobite. It was a nektobenthic predatory carnivore. The genus Bathyuriscus is endemic to the shallow seas that surrounded Laurentia. Its major characteristics are a large forward-reaching glabella, pointed pleurae or pleurae with very short spines, and a medium pygidium with well-impressed furrows. Complete specimens have never reached the size of 7 cm predicted by the largest pygidium found. ''Bathyuriscus'' is often found with the free cheeks shed, indicating a moulted exoskeleton.〔Coppold, Murray and Wayne Powell (2006). ''A Geoscience Guide to the Burgess Shale'', p.56. The Burgess Shale Geoscience Foundation, Field, British Columbia. ISBN 0-9780132-0-4.〕 An average specimen will in addition have a furrowed glabella, crescent-shaped eyes, be semi-circular in overall body shape, have 7 to 9 thoracic segments, and a length of about 1.5 inches. == Etymology == ''Bathyuriscus'' is a variation of ''Bathyurus'', originally based on the Ancient Greek βαθύς (bathys) "deep", oura, "tail", thus, a trilobite with a deep tail.
