Attached to the substrate by a holdfast, it had a tulip-shaped body, called the calyx, into which it actively pumped water that entered through pores and filtered out and digested organic contents. It grew to a length of only about {{convert|20|cm|in|abbr=on}}. Siphusauctum gregarium was described in 2012 from numerous fossils recovered from the "Tulip Beds" strata of the Burgess Shale of Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada. The generic name comes Latin {{lang|la|siphus}} ("cup" or "goblet") and {{lang|la|auctus}} ("large"), referring to the general shape and size of the animal. The specific epithet comes from Latin {{lang|la|gregalis}} ("flock" or "herd") referring to the large numbers of specimens recovered. It is the only species classified under the genus Siphusauctum and the family Siphusauctidae.[1]In 2017 a new species, Siphusauctum lloydguntheri, was reported from the Middle Cambrian Spence Shale of Utah.[2] References1. ^{{cite journal |author=Lorna J.
