context_page_description: Tegopelte gigas is a species of soft-bodied arthropod known from two specimens from the Walcott Quarry. Trackways that may have been produced by this organism or a close relative are known from the Kicking Horse Shale, stratigraphically below its body fossil occurrences. T. gigas is the only species classified under the genus Tegopelte. It is usually classified under its own family Tegopeltidae, but is sometimes placed under the family Naraoiidae. It is currently considered a member of Conciliterga within the Artiopoda.
