Hi all,
the game is over :D
Nicola Pennisi and friends have indicated that the animal found by my
friend lab is probably a *Polyxenus.* The pictures sent are really close to
specimen i send to you.
It is a millipede not occurring on deep water but maybe occurring in my lab
hahaha
it was simply a contamination ... shame
I would like to thank each one has spend some time in this investigation.
Kind regards,
Paulo

Hi,
Since this morning all the people in my lab are looking at the picture to
find the "right" answer.
Well, someone has found pictures of very similar animals if not the
same.... please find them attached.
The problem is..... I am afraid is not a polychaete worm nor a crustacean,
they are pictures of a millipede genus, Polyxenus, if you, google the genus
name you'll find plenty of similar photos.
Apologies if I am totally wrong (and blame on Jason and Steve in this case
;)
Kind regards,
Nick

Hi all!
thank you for your comments! I should write what I think in the last mail.
So... when you look dorsally you can see "chaetae" arrangement looking like
chrysopetalids but ventrally you fins this kind of legs.
I have worked with polychaetas for a longtime but I dont think it is a
polychaeta because the "chaeta" does not have the same kind of insertion
than polychaeta. In polychaetes the chaeta come from internal body and in
this animal, it is a kind of just attached in body surface. Moreover this
animal has 13 pairs of "legs" with spines attached and this kind of
insertion reminders me crustaceans. The legs appear to be articulated and
the body surface is covered by minuscules spines.
attached in this mail, you can find a picture of the rigid "chaeta" from
this animal maybe calcareous????
I hope someone knows what this can be :D
Best regards,
Paulo
