Overview

Discovery reveals new Early Triassic species, expanding fossil record and palaeogeographic distribution of cyclidans.

Key Points

  • The discovery of Yunnanocyclus fortis sp. nov. adds to the fossil record of cyclidan crustaceans.
  • Analysis highlights the significance of lagerstätte in preserving specimens from the Early Triassic.
  • Morphospace data shows no substantial morphological innovations from Carboniferous to Triassic.
  • Findings suggest a high divergence in cyclidan morphology during the Carboniferous period supports evolutionary models.
