Description

Dakorhachis thambus
Late Cambrian
Weeks Formation
House Range, Utah, USA

Brand new, previously undescribed 22mm animal. May be a stem group gnathiferan, making it among the earliest known member of the group which includes the chaetognaths. I know, a lot of weird animal names so read the paper below.
