Description
We redescribe the putative anostracan crustacean Gilsonicaris rhenanus Van Straelen, 1943 using µCT scanning. The data unveil unprecedented details of its anatomy, including a ventral oral opening and two pairs of recalcitrant jaw elements. These jaws are morphologically consistent with the scolecodonts of eunicidan polychaetes which along with the gross anatomy of the body and head unambiguously identifies G. rhenanus as a polychaete rather than an arthropod.
