Wisangocaris Explained

Wisangocaris is an extinct genus of Cambrian arthropod known from the Emu Bay Shale of Australia.[1] Due to the fact that trilobite fragments have been found in its stomach, it was probably durophagous. It been placed in the family Sanctacarididae alongside Sanctacaris as stem-group chelicerates.[2]
