Vetulicolia is the name of a taxon, encompassing several extinct Cambrian organisms. The vetulicolian body comprises two parts: a voluminous anterior forebody, tipped with an anteriorly positioned mouth, lined with a row of five round to oval-shaped features on each lateral side, which have been interpreted as gills - or at least openings in the vicinity of the pharynx, a posterior section that primitively comprises seven segments, functions as a tail. All vetulicolians lack preserved appendages of any kind, having no legs, feelers, or eyes; the area where the anterior and posterior parts join is constricted. Their affinity has been uncertain; the general scientific consensus considered them early limbless arthropods, but now considers them early deuterostomes. Examined Vetulicolian fossils show the presence of notochord-like structures. Therefore, it can be concluded that vetulicolians are crown-group chordates and the sister group of modern tunicates. Newer research indicates Vetulicolia are rather related to Saccorhytus, another basal Deuterostome group.

As proposed, the phylum included the Didazoonidae and the Vetulicolidae. Other groups which may be related include the yunnanozoans; the taxonomic placement of the Vetulicolians remains controversial. One researcher has argued that the vetulicolians represent an early side-branch of deuterostomes, that this implies that segmentation in cephalochordates and vertebrates may be derived from the common ancestor of protostomes and deuterostomes. However, the researchers who described Skeemella from the Middle Cambrian of Utah regard it as having affinity to Vetulicolia, but as having arthropod features, thus confounding assignment of Vetulicolia to Deuterostomia. Dominguez and Jefferies have argued, based on morphological analysis, that Vetulicola is a urochordate, a stem-group larvacean; some question the relation to tunicates and larvaceans, as there is no evidence of segmentation in tunicates, larval or adult, comparable to segmentation in vetulicolians, that the anus of urochordates is within the atrium, while that of vetulicolians is positioned at the terminal end of the tail, most there is no exhalant siphon, or analogous structure, seen in vetulicolians.

However, recent research have confirmed a position close to urochordates for Vetulicolians. From their superficially tadpole-like forms, leaf or paddle-shaped tails, various degrees of streamlining, it is assumed that all vetulicolians discovered thus far were swimming animals that spent much, if not all, of their time living in the water column; some groups, like the genus Vetulicola, were more streamlined than other groups, such as the tadpole-like Didazoonidae. Because all vetulicolians had mouths which had no features for chewing or grasping, it is automatically assumed that they were not predators; because of their gill slits, many researchers regard the vetulicolians as being planktivores. The sediment infills in the guts of their fossils have led some to suggest that they were deposit feeders; this idea has been contested, as deposit feeders tend to have straight guts, whereas the hindguts of vetulicolians were spiral-shaped. Some researchers propose that the vetulicolians were "selective deposit-feeders" which swam from one region of the seafloor to another, while supplementing their nutrition with filter-feeding.

Sampson Harris was a Union Army soldier during the American Civil War. He received the Medal of Honor for gallantry during the Siege of Vicksburg on May 22, 1863. On May 22, 1863, General Ulysses S. Grant ordered an assault on the Confederate heights at Vicksburg, Mississippi; the plan called for a storming party of volunteers to build a bridge across a moat and plant scaling ladders against the enemy embankment in advance of the main attack. The volunteers knew the odds were against survival and the mission was called, in 19th-century vernacular, a "forlorn hope". Only single men were accepted as volunteers and then, twice as many men as needed came forward and were turned away; the assault began in the early morning following a naval bombardment. The Union soldiers came under enemy fire and were pinned down in the ditch they were to cross. Despite repeated attacks by the main Union body, the men of the forlorn hope were unable to retreat until nightfall. Of the 150 men in the storming party, nearly half were killed.

Seventy-nine of the survivors were awarded the Medal of Honor. "For gallantry in the charge of the volunteer storming party on 22 May 1863."

As minor planet discoveries are confirmed, they are given a permanent number by the IAU's Minor Planet Center, the discoverers can submit names for them, following the IAU's naming conventions. The list below concerns those minor planets in the specified number-range that have received names, explains the meanings of those names. Official naming citations of newly named small Solar System bodies are published in MPC's Minor Planet Circulars several times a year. Recent citations can be found on the JPL Small-Body Database; until his death in 2016, German astronomer Lutz D. Schmadel compiled these citations into the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names and updated the collection. Based on Paul Herget's The Names of the Minor Planets, Schmadel researched the unclear origin of numerous asteroids, most of, named prior to World War II; this article incorporates public domain material from the United States Government document: "SBDB". New namings may only be added after official publication as the preannouncement of names is condemned by the Committee on Small Body Nomenclature.
