Plumulites is a rare, extinct genus of armored, segmented annelid worms (machaeridians) that existed from the Ordovician period to the Early Triassic period (480-250 MYA). They are relatives of the modern-day earthworm, leech, and bristleworm. Many well-preserved specimens have emerged on the market over the last few years.
