Scientists have identified 24 new species of amphipod crustaceans in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, a stretch of Pacific seabed the size of the United States that sits at the center of a global fight over deep-sea mining. Among the discoveries is an entirely new superfamily of life — Mirabestioidea — representing a previously unknown evolutionary branch. It is the taxonomic equivalent of discovering a new order of mammals.
