Ancient Australian arthropods

Abstract

Fossils of very old — Devonian — ancestors of the centipedes and millipedes have been found only in the Northern Hemisphere. That situation changes with the discovery and description of two specimens from Australia; the oldest one dates to almost 400 million years ago. The new fossils raise issues about the biogeography of this group of arthropods, and also plausibly become the oldest-known remains of Australian land animals.
