Specie: Sicyophorus rarus
Description:
Individuals are about 10mm long. The body is divided into the approximately equal‐sized ovoid introvert and the trunk, which are connected by a narrower distinct neck region. Spine‐like scalids cover the anterior half of the introvert and are arranged in about 20 longitudinal rows. The protruding, anterior part of the proboscis is much narrower than the introvert. The trunk appears to be encased in a kind of thick cuticle and displays a number of fine longitudinal striations that are possibly the result of taphonomic compression. The intestine is typically narrow, straight, and flat and often preserved in a dark color. In some specimens the gut is curved near the posterior end of the trunk, where numerous hooks are observed.
