Situation with Triops

[Terrena Laxamentum]

Hello, I really need some help here. I found some wild populations of Triops in an area they're not supposed to be in, I have a couple of specimens that I preserved, does anyone here know of anyone that works with Notostraca that I can send them over to have them looked at and possibly keyed?

I'd take some pictures and ask on reddit, troops live only a few weeks from what I've heard

Yeah not long lived, I have some preserved in alcohol. I was hoping to find someone who specializes on their taxonomy, because I found these in a place where Triops were never observed, and the closest population is many states away.
