An international team of scientists has completed a new analysis of the anatomy of a worm larva fossil that lived 520 million years ago, during the incredibly remote Cambrian Period (540 to 485 million years ago). This exceptionally rare specimen comes from a long-extinct species of eurarthropod (primitive arthropod) known as Youti yuanshi, and it is one of the earliest ancestors of modern arthropods (insects, spiders, centipedes, and crabs) ever discovered. The larva’s unique anatomical features, which have been miraculously preserved despite the immense passage of time, offer scientists an unprecedented glimpse into the remote evolutionary history of the Earth’s most common category of animal life. Tiny Specimen Packed With Data This minute specimen is no bigger than a flower seed. Yet the Y. yuanshi fossil was successfully recovered from inside a rock formation in a virtually intact state. The latest analysis has revealed the intimate details of its interior and exterior structures, which has allowed scientists to identify it as a clear forerunner of the modern arthropod family.

So easy and so little clean up! The apples cook low and slow and get wonderfully soft and juicy.

It may become your favorite apple dessert! If you’re looking for another crock pot apple recipe, try this delcious apple butter. Pin this now to find it laterPin It Recipe Tip If you want to add a little crunch, you can add half a cup of pecans or walnuts to the topping. Type Of Apples To Use For an apple crisp, I like the tart flavor of Granny Smith apples. Gala are another good apple to use and they have a sweeter flavor. You could use a combination of the two for the best of both worlds. Storage Leftovers will keep for 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can rewarm it in a microwave or oven.
