Pollingeria is a problematic genus of animals of the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale. 3080 specimens of Pollingeria are known from the Greater Phyllopod bed, where they comprise 5.85% of the community.[1]
Pollingeria are short worms, which are generally elongated and relatively thin, less than an inch long. Their shape varies widely from specimen to specimen.
In a single instance, individuals are grouped together.[2]
