Schinderhannes bartelsi
Extinct species of radiodont / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schinderhannes bartelsi is a species of hurdiid radiodont (anomalocaridid), known from one specimen from the Lower Devonian Hunsrück Slates. Its discovery was astonishing because the latest definitive radiodonts were known only from the Early Ordovician,[1] at least 66 million years earlier than this taxon.[2]
