Primigenia maria Cambrian (542-488 decies annis ago) habebat laoreet novis et prodigiosum creaturae paene inestimabilis vel optimus sci-fi somniator. Sicut impossibile est unum, praesupponuntur ad Arthropoda (quoque Onychophora et Tardigradum), lobopodian repraesentent familias in aliena coetus “crura vermibus” quae quondam antiquos pererrant aequora lectos. Prorsus quam prope sint ad veras arthropodas disputandum est! (arbor infra), sed hoc genus et species nuper inuentum, Diania cactiformis (ambulans cactus), significat optime sclerotizantur et arthropodibus sicut cuiuslibet notae.
Hic whopping monstri duo et semis pollicis adiuvat ut nos intellegamus transitus a vermibus mollibus corporeis tanquam creatura in arthropodibus duro; melius etiam dat impressionem quam variae hae fuerint appendices lobopodianae. Quaestio attrahenti est quia utilitas iuncturarum est, sclerotizantur, membrorum unus erat qui explosa et varia inter creaturas quae hodie novimus. Quomodo hoc factum sit, propius ad solutionem non pertinet, apparet autem huius animalis crura ante corpus sclerotizantur (arthropodization nobis. arthrodization). Una parva fossilia inventa et adhuc alia parva perceptio in historia evolutionis.

I have a very important question:
which end is the head?
(I am reminded of Hallucigenia?. I wonder how long it will take for someone to turn this guy upside down? Yay for weird Cambrian critters!)
P.S. maybe it’s just me/my browser, but the critter’s image doesn’t open on the page; all I get is a frame unless I click through.
I guess they are assuming the head is the structure to the upper left… sed, beats me! Also, I had a .tiff uploaded instead of a JPG, I think it should be fixed now!
The jpg is much better, gratias! Funny, my vote for “head” was the right-hand side for some reason. So odd.
