The telson is often absent, or, rather, it is coalesced with the last somite of the abdomen.
All the other somites of the body are distinct (in some Isopods, however, the abdominal somites are coalesced), but the telson is not separate from the last somite.
The abdomen is very short, with small swimmerets, and the telson is not separated from the last somite.
The larva of the Norway Lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) is essentially of the same type, but the great development of the spines on the abdomen and of the forked telson gives it a striking appearance.
The telson or swimming plate is not at first separated from the sixth segment; on each side it is prolonged into two well-marked prongs; and to each prong three bristles are usually attached (fig.
In having this ventral curvature of the telson Cymothoa forms an exception amongst Isopods; and in this respect is intermediate between the embryos of Asellus and those of the Amphipoda.
He believes however that the anterior segment forms the procephalic lobes, the posterior probably the telson and five adjoining caudal segments, and the middle one the remainder of the body.
At the same time the telson is early formed, and is bent forwards so as to lie on the under side of the part of the blastoderm in front.

The telson is truncated at the end so that it is by no means as long as it is broad at the base, and the outer divisions of the tail appendages are in similar proportion.
The telson has the form of a triangle with the angles truncated and is about as long as it is broad at the base.

The chief outward difference is that in many of the fossils the telson is accompanied by two furcal rami, while in the modern genera it is simple.
The body consists of eleven segments and a telson (Walcott says twelve and a telson but shows only eleven in the figures).
The body of this animal is elongate, somewhat eurypterid-like, but with a broad telson supplied with lateral swimmerets.
These little animals lack the carapace, and the body is short, with typically ten free segments and a telson bearing caudal furcae.

Olenellus thompsoni is generally considered to be unique among trilobites in having a Limulus-like telson in place of a pygidium.
There is no carapace, the eyes are pedunculated, thorax and abdomen are not differentiated, and the telson is a broad, elongate, spatulate plate.
In fact, from the habits of Limulus it is known that the appendages are relied upon for digging, and that the telson is a useful but not indispensable pushing organ.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "telson" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
