New fossil discovered by DCNR's Geologic Survey staff

Pennsylvania has a new genus and species of fossil discovered by DCNR Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey. Before this discovery, the oldest know fossil of this infra order (Stenopodidea, known as barber pole shrimp) was thought to be 99 million years old. The new discovery, Devonostenopus pennsylvaniensis pushes the existence of this shrimp back 260 million more years, now the oldest example of a Stenopodidean.

Congratulations to DCNR
