Branchinecta barstowensis is a species of fairy shrimp (Anostraca) that inhabited California during the Middle Miocene (13.4 million years ago).[1] Its fecal material is abdundant in the concretions from the Barstow Formation. A limited number of whole specimens have been found, and they represent the "best-preserved fossil anostracan known to date".[1] The closest relative of B. barstowensis appears to be Branchinecta pollicifera from the surroundings of Lake Titicaca.[1]
