Buccaspinea is an extinct genus of Cambrian hurdiid radiodont from the Marjum Formation, known from frontal appendages and a nearly complete albeit headless specimen with a preserved oral cone.[1] Buccaspinea was described in January 2021, being the second-most recent hurdiid genus to be described.
