Scientists examining a rare fossil found in Canada’s Burgess Shale have discovered a predator with three eyes that lived over 500 million years ago.
The fossil species, named Mosura fentoni for resembling the fictional Japanese kaiju Mothra, was about the size of an index finger with three eyes, spiny jointed claws, a circular mouth lined with teeth, and a body with swimming flaps along its sides, researchers from the Royal Ontario Museum said.
