Class Coeloscleritophora Bengtson and Missarzhevsky, 1981

Remarks.—This taxon has been established for a group of fossils characterised by an exoskeleton consisting of hollow calcareous (aragonitic) spine−, rosette− or scale−like sclerites with an internal cavity for soft tissues, connected to the animal body through a narrow basal foramen. The principal coeloscleritophorans include chancelloriids, halkieriids, sachitids, and siphogonuchitids.
