Nationalgeographic.co.id—Life in the sea seems to keep a variety of mysteries. Researchers have found fossils of an unusual creature that is thought to be gigantic compared to marine life 500 million years ago.
Reported from CNN, the new fossil discovered by researchers is Titanokorys gainesi, ancient animal which is up to half a meter in length. This size is very large considering that other sea creatures are the size of a little finger.
Titanokorys gainesi enter the order Radiodonta, group arthropods primitive species that became widespread after the Cambrian explosion, 541 million years ago. The Cambrian Explosion is an event that occurs in the emergence of phyla and species in a relatively short time.
