The shrimp is an arthropod belonging to the sub-phylum Crustacea. Its body is covered in
armor composed largely of calcium carbonate. Various species of shrimp live in both salt and
fresh water. The earliest known shrimp fossil dates back some 200 million years.
The fossil shrimp pictured is around 145 million years old. Shrimps, which have maintained
their structure for millions of years with no change, are proof that living things never
underwent evolution.
