Examples

“In 2009, the amazing description of a single specimen of Schinderhannes bartelsi appeared to extend the history of arthropod-like anomalocaridids by a whopping 100 million years, although the true affinity of Schinderhannes is still contested so it may be an Elvis or Lazarus taxon.”

“The second youngest anomalocaridid yet discovered is a bizarre giant from the deeper Ordovician waters of Fezouata in Morocco, called Aegirocassis.”
