Archaebranchinecta barstowensis is a species of fairy shrimp ( Anostraca) that inhabited California during the Middle Miocene ( 13.4 million years ago). [1] Its fecal material is abundant in the concretions from the Barstow Formation. [2] A limited number of whole specimens have been found, and they represent the "best-preserved fossil anostracan known to date". [1] The closest relative of A. barstowensis appears to be Archaebranchinecta pollicifera from the surroundings of Lake Titicaca, [1] and the two have been separated from the genus Branchinecta as the new genus Archaebranchinecta.
