COCKTAIL SAUCE WITH THAT?

Scientists have found the world's oldest shrimp... right here in Oklahoma.

The shrimp is 375-million years old.  Back then, Oklahoma was an ocean.

The shrimp is three inches long, which would qualify as a jumbo shrimp.

The shrimp is fossilised and inedible.

The shrimp's name is Aciculopoda Mapes.

That's one giant name for shrimp.

The shrimp will be housed in the Smithsonian, along with 3000 sea slugs, Harry Truman's bowling pins and Kermit T. Frog.
