fossil clam shrimp

The Devonian (about 355-415 million years ago) was when the clam shrimp — a still-living group of crustaceans that can be found in western NY — first appeared in the fossil record. 

Dr. Hegna and an international team collaborated on a project to clarify the fossil record of clam shrimp. Describing new Devonian-aged fossils from Germany (roughly the same age as the rocks in this area), they synthesized other records of Devonian-aged clam shrimp to better understand the ecology and geography of their origin. The paper includes one new genus and three new species. 

The paper is open access, available for free download.
