This discovery provides important clues to understanding the evolution and ecology of early coelenterates in the early Cambrian.

Chinese paleontologists have identified a new species of fossil shrimp discovered in southwestern Yunnan province, which is 518 million years old. This was reported by China Daily.

So, according to the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the new species is named Innovatiocaris maotianshanensis, formerly known as anomalocaris, because its appearance is very similar to the already known radiodont.

A new species of shrimp is known to have a streamlined body with a pair of lobes and gill valves for swimming and breathing, a pair of spiny claws and a pair of large eyes on the head, and radial mouths on under the head.

According to institute junior Zeng Han, Innovatiocaris maotianshanensis has a pair of particularly elongated tail forks, and the morphological details of its front claws are clearly different from those of Anomalocaris.

Fossils of a new shrimp species were collected from the early Cambrian fauna of the Chengjiang sedimentary deposit in the Maotianshan Mountains.

It was previously reported that British archaeologists had found a Roman ritual sanctuary.
