Description
English: The only fossilized specimen of a species previously unknown to science -- an "obscure" stalked filter feeder. It has just been detailed for the first time in a paper appearing in the Journal of Paleontology.

"This was the earliest specimen of a stalked filter feeder that has been found in North America," said lead author Julien Kimmig, collections manager for Invertebrate Paleontology at the Biodiversity Institute. "This animal lived in soft sediment and anchored into the sediment. The upper part of the tulip was the organism itself. It had a stem attached to the ground and an upper part, called the calyx, that had everything from the digestive tract to the feeding mechanism. It was fairly primitive and weird."
