Meet Palaeocampa anthrax, a newly discovered Carboniferous lobopodian, and 150 year old mystery fossil! Palaeocampa is an exceptional lobopodian - it lived in rivers and lakes, bristled with thousands of poisonous spines, and more. 🧵 Open access: nature.com/articles/s4200…
I can't believe we're all talking about Mirasaura and sleeping on Palaeocanpa- a chemically defended, freshwater lobopodian from the Carboniferous

A freshwater lobopodian! Makes sense, as modern velvet worms are terrestrial and their Paleozoic relatives were marine! Really cool!

I cannot believe everything happened in just one day #paleoart
