Arthropod,

Paleontologists have been studying specimens of this genus because they offer clues to the anatomy of the ancestors of the earliest arthropods.

You don’t want to get this one at the spelling bee but it is the kind of primitive arthropod that invertebrate collectors would like to add to their collections.
