撫仙湖蟲
抚仙湖虫科的一属节肢动物
撫仙湖蟲(屬名:Fuxianhuia)是生存於寒武紀第三期的原始海生節肢動物,也是已知最早具有心血管系統的生物[3],化石發現於中國雲南的昆明和玉溪,屬名即來自首次化石記錄的所在地玉溪撫仙湖,是澂江生物群的代表生物之一。[4]

描述
撫仙湖蟲成蟲體長10公分,有31個體節,外骨骼分為頭、胸、腹三部分,背、腹分節數目不一致,與泥盆紀直蝦類化石類似,而直蝦是現代昆蟲的祖先,這間接表明了撫仙湖蟲是昆蟲的遠祖。撫仙湖蟲消化道充滿泥沙,這表明牠是食泥的動物。[5][6][7][8][9]
分佈
撫仙湖蟲的化石分佈廣泛,位於雲南省玉溪市澂江縣東6公里的帽天山附近的帽天山化石帶,呈帶狀蜿蜒分佈,這條分佈帶長20公里,寬4.5公里,埋藏深度在50公尺以上。
