Product Description
Our Naraoia measures 2 7/8 inches long (including feelers) and is made of flexible plastic. Our Naraoia is detailed and pink in color, but its actual hue is unknown since scientists only have information from fossil records of the Cambrian Period. Its underside is also pink with well-defined deep red ribs. Check out our Cambrian Period and other extinct animal replicas, toys, and gifts.
Naraoia is a genus of small to average size (about 2-4½ cm long) marine arthropods within the family Naraoiidae, that lived from the early Cambrian to the late Silurian period. The species are characterized by a large alimentary system and sideways oriented antennas. Naraoia is almost flat. The upper (or dorsal) side of the body consists of a non-calcified transversely oval or semi-circular headshield (cephalon), and a tailshield (pygidium) longer than the cephalon, without any body segments in between. The body is narrowed at the articulation between cephalon and pygidium. The long many-segmented antennas are directed sideways. There are no eyes.
