Banffia is a genus of animals described from Early Cambrian fossils. The genus commemorates Banff, Alberta, near where the
first fossil specimens were discovered. Its placement in higher taxa is controversial. Banffia constricta is known from hundreds
of fossils found in the Burgess shales. It is up to 10 cm in length, and divided equally into anterior and posterior parts.
The entire body is twisted in a clockwise spiral, as seen from the front.
