Gogia spiralis
GRI #643
• Gogia spiralis was a small animal with a body shaped like a vase on a stalk.
• The stalk was attached to the mud, and the mouth opened at the top of the body.
• The mouth was surrounded by a double row of spiral arms that extended upward and captured small creatures or particles in the water.
• The species Gogia spiralis gets its name from the spiral shape of the arms.
• The genus Gogia includes several species found in North America and western Europe. They seem to be restricted to Cambrian sediments.
