One of the most incomplete fossil records of marine life is being filled in by a new find by a team of paleontologists from the University of Alberta, Yale University, and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute -- with the discovery of hundreds of tiny comma shrimp fossils.

The exceptional degree of preservation has even enabled paleontologists to create a 3D reconstruction of the comma shrimp, Eobodotria muisca.
