Data from: The oldest notostracan (Upper Devonian Strud locality, Belgium)

A new notostracan crustacean, Strudops goldenbergi gen. et sp. nov., is
described from the well-preserved terrestrial arthropod fauna of the Upper
Devonian of Strud, Belgium. The fossil notostracan bears a close
resemblance to modern notostracans in possessing a large, simple head
shield covering almost half of the whole body, a set of phyllopodous
thoracic appendages and a legless posterior abdomen with a telson bearing
a caudal furca. The differentiation and relative size of mouthparts and
limbs suggest that these specimens are all adults. The notostracans
described herein are the earliest clear members of the total group
Notostraca.
