Kiellotillidae
Kiellotillidae is a family of extinct marine invertebrates belonging to the phylum Arthropoda. These fossil organisms are known from the Carboniferous period, primarily from deposits in North America and Europe. Kiellotillids are characterized by their segmented bodies, which were typically covered by a carapace or exoskeleton.
Their morphology suggests a benthic or semi-benthic lifestyle, meaning they likely lived on or near the seafloor.
Fossil specimens of Kiellotillidae are often found preserved in fine-grained sedimentary rocks, which allows for detailed
The discovery and study of kiellotillids contribute to our understanding of the diversity of arthropod life
