Fossilized stranded scyphozoans on a Cambrian tidal flat at Blackberry Hill, Wisconsin.

The Scyphozoa are an exclusively marine class of the phylum Cnidaria,[2] referred to as the true jellyfish (or "true jellies").

The class name Scyphozoa comes from the Greek word skyphos (σκύφος), denoting a kind of drinking cup and alluding to the cup shape of the organism.[3]

Scyphozoans have existed from the earliest Cambrian to the present.[1]
