\nThis first analysis of the feeding biomechanics of modern and extinct shell-crushing arthropods shows remarkable similarities between the feeding structures of the modern American horseshoe crab and the 508-million-year-old Sidneyia inexpectans<\/em> from British Columbia\u2019s Burgess Shale. This biomechanical solution to processing shelly food may have arisen soon after shell-bearing animals first appeared.<\/p>\n
