Slide26_AntarcticOstracod02

A new species of freshwater ostracod (seed shrimp) from the Mount Boreas fossil deposits. The soft anatomy, head parts to left and tail parts to right, is sandwiched between the valves of a hinged carapace. This is one of the few fossil ostracods known in which the soft anatomy is preserved. SEM image from Mark Williams, University of Leicester, U.K.
