0 one of a group of small creatures that have long bodies and many sections with legs, for example centipedes and millipedes:
Myriapod mouthparts are similar to those of chewing insects, although there is some variation between the myriapod classes.
Due to the economic crisis during the late 1920s he had to retire from any bureaucratic activity and focussed exclusively on his myriapod studies.
The myriapod head is very similar to that of the insects.
Previous to this he had suggested that a large crustacean, annelid worm or myriapod (such as a millipede) could have made them.
It is the first myriapod, and the oldest known creature to have lived on land.
It also plays host to a number of geological 'oddities' including fulgurites and giant myriapod trails.
His paper studies myriapod segmentation.
Myriapods are arthropods with one pair of antennae, two or three pairs of mouthparts and many pairs of legs.
