Definition
A family of jellyfish in the order Trachymedusae, marine hydromedusae found in oceans worldwide with simple bell structures.
Etymology
From Geryonia (jellyfish genus) plus the Linnaean family suffix -idae; the naming honors the mythological Geryon, extending classical mythology into modern taxonomy.
Kelly Says
These jellyfish are so simple that they're basically living from the Cambrian period—they've barely changed in 500 million years, making them true fossils still swimming in our oceans.
