Shenzianyuloma (from Chinese 神仙鱼 shénxiān yú "angelfish" and an anagram of Mola) is an extinct genus of vetulicolians, represented by a single species, Shenzianyuloma yunnanense, from the Maotianshan Shale during Stage 3 (518 million years ago) of the Cambrian period. It is notable for having a body shape akin to that of an angelfish.[1]
