Orthrozanclus: History, Classification & History of discovery

Orthrozanclus (from Greek ὄρθρος + ζᾰ́γκλον (órthros + zánklon), "dawn scythe") is a genus of sea creatures known from two species, O. reburrus from the Middle Cambrian (~505 million years ago) Burgess Shale and O. elongata from Early Cambrian (~518 million years ago) Maotianshan Shales.
