A micro-tomographic image stack was prepared. The appendages are visualised as images and drawings are based on photographs of different images planes provided. The result is a description of a new species, <i>Cypria kempfi</i>, from the Eocene of Northern Germany. The way the fossilisation of this aquatic animal may have occurred is discussed. The possible ecological preferences of the species are considered.</p></div>
