Waterstonella grantonensis is a species of fossil crustacean so distinct from other crustaceans that it has been placed in its own genus, Waterstonella, family, Waterstonellidae, and order, Waterstonellidea.[2] It is named after Charles Waterstone, keeper of geology at the Royal Scottish Museum,[1] while the specific epithet commemorates the location where the fossil was found, the Granton shrimp beds, near Edinburgh.[3]
