Caulleryaspis [Caulleryaspis]

Description

Caulleryaspis is a genus within the family Sternaspidae, comprising marine polychaete worms. Members of Caulleryaspis are known for their distinctive morphological features, including a well-developed, shield-like structure on their posterior end, similar to other Sternaspidae, but with unique morphological details that differentiate them from Sternaspis. These organisms are adapted to a life buried within the ocean floor, with their morphology specially suited to burrowing and living in soft sediment environments. They contribute to the sediment turnover and nutrient cycles within their benthic ecosystems.
