Pauloterminus
Extinct shrimp-like stem group crustacean
Pauloterminus is an extinct genus of bivalved arthropod known from Early Cambrian (about 520 to 516 million years ago) Sirius Passet locality of northern Greenland. It is tentatively classified under the family Waptiidae.[1]
The genus only has a single species P. spinodorsalis. It was first described by the paleontologist Rod S. Taylor in 2002. Its generic name is derived from Latin paulus ("small") and terminus ("end"). The specific name is from Latin spina ("thorn") and dorsalis ("of the back").[1]
