Additional Information
Description:
Shirakiella wayaoensis is a trilobite species that presents key morphological features for its classification within specific trilobite taxonomy. Diagnostic characteristics of this species, primarily observed in specimens from the Cambrian period, include a cephalon of a defined shape, often with specific glabellar furrows and fixigenal spine structures. The thorax is composed of a number of segments, each exhibiting a distinct axial ring and pleural region. The pygidium also displays particular features, such as the number of axial rings and the morphology of the pleural ribs. These features, in combination, are crucial for differentiating Shirakiella wayaoensis from other trilobite species within its family and contribute to the broader understanding of Cambrian trilobite diversity and evolution.
