    'I am also a Depp fan and what better way to honour the man than to immortalise him as an ancient creature that once roamed the sea?'

    :D

    I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that.

    Kooteninchela deppi is helping researchers piece together more information about life on Earth during the Cambrian period, which happened more than 1.9million years ago and was when nearly all modern animal types emerged.

    Technically speaking it was more than 1.9million years ago

    Kind of like saying the Jurassic was more than a week ago...

    That DM article is so riddled with inaccuracies that I don't know where to start.:rolleyes:

    As for this new fossil critter - I wonder if it's closer to the trilobites or to the anomalocarids? It's looks a bit like the strange Obapinia but much more arthropod like - "missing link" perhaps?
