1. Between the species on the one hand and the phylum on the other there are a whole series of intermediate categories of increasing inclusiveness.
2. Nick Butterfield of Harvard, though, thinks Wiwaxia is related to a scaly worm, part of a known phylum, which is also found in the Burgess shale.
3. In the phylum Mollusca - the molluscs which include the majority of sea animals with shells - the class Gastropoda includes all the snails, and the class Bivalvia all the clams (mussels, scallops, etc.).
4. The major groups into which we can fit almost all fossils from the Cambrian onwards, and all the living fauna, are called phyla (singular: phylum ).
5. At the opposite end of the scale from the phylum is the smallest unit of classification usually used for fossils: the species .
6. Once a definitive picture of it was produced, it was given its own phylum.
7. To identify any animal properly, the first stage is to determine to which phylum it belongs.
8. It is possible to do this sort of analysis only within the arthropod phylum, because only that has enough species, with enough measurable features.
9. The new interpretation seems to push Hallucigenia, the Chinese fossils, and some other species around at the time (including another of the Burgess oddballs, Aysheaia) into the arthropod phylum, with insects, crabs and trilobites.
10. But what holds true within one phylum may well hold true across them.
11. If we think about the basic body plan of a phylum, it can often be seen as a solution to an engineering design problem facing an ancestor, but one which is no longer relevant to most living descendants.
12. Several genera (plural of genus) may be grouped together in a family , several families together in a superfamily , and the superfamilies themselves are clustered into classes , two or more of which combine to make the phylum.
13. A phylum is a group of species which share a basic body plan and thus, presumably, a common ancestor.
