Most bradoriids are only known from their bivalved carapaces, which are small in size, typically up to around in length. Preserved soft tissues known from some members, such as
Kunmingella, Kunyangella and
Indiana suggest that the group was
morphologically diverse.
Indiana had a pair of
antennae followed by 11 pairs of
uniramous appendages which were all similar to each other.
Kunmingella had 12 appendages, including a pair of antennae as well pairs of
biramous limbs, including four anterior pairs of appendages bearing double rows of
endites on their
endopods, and a posterior 5 with only a single row of endites, as well as two terminal pairs of uniramous limbs.
Kunyangella has 4 pairs of appendages on the head each with a distinct morphology, with 9 pairs of trunk appendages, the last being uniramous. == Ecology ==
