From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amphissites is an extinct genus of ostracod (seed shrimp) belonging to the suborder Beyrichicopina (ornamented beyrichiocopids[2]) and family Amphissitinae.[3][4] Species belonging to the genus lived from the Devonian[5] to the Permian[6] in Europe,[7][8] North America,[9] Australia,[10] and east Asia.[11][12] The genus were likely deposit-feeders, and may have survived briefly into the Triassic.[13]
