Tesnusocaris goldichi is an extinct species of remipedian[2] crustacean that lived in the Pennsylvanian period, one of the two representatives of the extinct remipedian order Enantiopoda.[3] Its fossil is from the Lower Pennsylvanian (Paleozoic, Carboniferous) Tesnus formation, Texas.[1] The other known enantiopod remipedian is Cryptocaris hootchi of the Mazon Creek fauna.
