The first leech body fossil predates estimated hirudinidan origins by 200 million years [PDF]
PeerJClitellata is a major annelid clade comprising oligochaetes (e.g., earthworms) and hirudineans (e.g., leeches). Due to their scant fossil record, the origins of clitellates, particularly Hirudinea, are poorly known. Here, we describe the first leech body

A probable oligochaete from an Early Triassic Lagerstätte of the southern Cis-Urals and its evolutionary implications [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 Oligochaetes, despite their important role in terrestrial ecosystems and a tremendous biomass, are extremely rare fossils. The palaeontological record of these worms is restricted to some cocoons, presumable trace fossils and a few body fossils the most ...
