New study sheds light on how insects, spiders, crustaceans, and other arthropods evolved their distinct body structures. By tracing these patterns ...

For years, a mysterious fossil specimen defied categorization, until one paleontologist made a surprising discovery.

Focused on Cambrian fossils, the study reanimates a species long trapped in the pages of forgotten paleontology.

Researchers formally describe Helmetia expansa, offering new insights into its anatomy, behavior and evolutionary relationships.

For over a century, the Cambrian arthropod Helmetia expansa remained a mystery. Discovered by paleontologist Charles Doolittle Walcott in 1918, it was initially classified as a crustacean.

A newly identified fossil discovered in the ancient shale of South Africa, has stunned paleontologists with its rare ...

Discovered 25 years ago, a 444-million-year-old marine arthropod fossil stumped paleontologists, as they couldn’t identify its exact species. Sarah Gabbot, who originally discovered the specimen ...

A unique window into the past, the ancient critter has allowed experts a chance to better understand evolutionary links ...

Gabbott finally had some answers about this mysterious fossil. According to the study, arthropods make up about 85 percent of the animals on Earth and include lobsters, shrimp, centipedes, and spiders ...
