Furca fossils have been found in sediments indicative of shallow marine habitats. Since appendages and other body parts are unknown, no firm conclusions can be made of the biology of Furca. However, comparisons to other marrellomorphs and living arthropods such as horseshoe crabs suggest a benthic marine lifestyle: dwelling on the sea floor. [2]
The furcula, or furca is a forked, tail-like appendage. It is present in most species of springtails , and in them it is attached ventrally to the fourth abdominal segment. The organ most often is present in species of Collembola that lives in the upper soil layers where it is used for jumping to avoid predators. [ 1 ]
The etymology of his name may be derived from the Latin word furca, meaning fork, [6] or from Greco-Roman also meaning a sepulchre (tomb). [7] In popular culture.
Most species have an abdominal, tail-like appendage known as a furcula (or furca). It is located on the fourth abdominal segment of springtails and is folded beneath the body, held under tension by a small structure called the retinaculum (or tenaculum). When released, it snaps against the substrate, flinging the springtail into the air and ...

When the shield is carried on the tip of the abdomen, it is secured to a double-lobed, spine-like process called the caudal furca, [6] which is also known as the "anal fork". [7] The larva constructs the shield by maneuvering its "muscular telescopic and highly protrusible anus", [8] or "anal turret", which is positioned dorsally, on the back.
