For #Crustmas I will give you so many ostracods, with calcified shells enclosing the body. These are myodocopes: "Giant" (3 cm) Gigantocypris with mirror eyes, bioluminescent sexual displays in the Luxorina, eyeless cave dwellers like Spelaeoecia, and SO many fossils (here with pyritized eggs) 🧪🦑

Perfect ROUND ostracod, in orange, viewed from the front where you can see its giant round mirrored eyes, and its antennae that look like whiskers coming out of the gap in the bivalved (yet so round) shell

A long exposure captures ostracods (doing bioluminescent courtship displays) in motion on a Bonaire reef, driven in part by currents. Kyle McBurnie

Lateral view of Spelaeoecia, cave ostracod from Bermuda. It is translucent and has no eyes, and most of its appendages peek a bit out of the more elongated bivalved carapace

Ventral view of Luprisca incuba, 443 million year old fossil. You see it splayed out with appendages, the furca at the bottom, and a few eggs on either side of the furca. All preserved in pyrite.
