Ancestors of modern crustaceans

Moroccan scientists have discovered new prehistoric lobsters, believed to be the ancestors of modern crustaceans, insects and spiders.

The team said that lobster is bigger than an adult, living from 480 million years ago. Specifically, lobster length is up to 2 m, excavated in Morocco. While most species of the same family have round mouths, sharp iron teeth, this lobster is very 'gentle ' like a modern whale, only purifying water to find ephemeral food.

Dr. Allison Daley, working at Oxford University (UK) - the leader of the research team identified the 2m-long lobster fossil may be one of the largest animals on the planet lived 480 million years ago . Although gigantic, but Aegirocassis benmoulae is gentle and only eats zooplankton like today's whales.
