==== Relict population ==== Any one of the above three definitions, but also with a [[relict distribution]] in [[Refugium (population biology)|refuges]]. Some paleontologists believe that living fossils with large distributions (such as ''[[Triops cancriformis]]'') are not real living fossils. In the case of ''Triops cancriformis'' (living from the [[Triassic]] until now), the Triassic specimens lost most of their appendages (mostly only [[carapace]]s remain), and they have not been thoroughly examined since 1938.
