A giant marine creature from the Cambrian period

The world was described by Jacob Finther in a study by fossils of a marine creature discovered in the city of Greenland, which existed 520 million years ago. The creature was named Tamisiocaris Borealis. This creature belongs to an animal group called anomalocarids. Interestingly, Is to have huge benefits to help them catch large prey.

In his study, published last week in the journal Nature, Dr. Jacob adds that this creature has an accurate network that works alongside the large branches to be able to hunt and feed the small prey, where the creature separates its net and circulates in a circular motion in the water and then breaks the net and directs it to its mouth To throw the suspended small marine animals to feed them.

Dr. Martin Stein of the University of Copenhagen designed a three-dimensional animated film to give the audience a vision of the mechanics of Tamisiocaris' feeding equipment during the Cambrian times.
