A preserved fossil of an arthropod was discovered and it has been found to be one of the earliest animal fossils. It is an extraordinary find because it can speak to the history and evolution of these creatures.

Ancient Creature was a miniature monster
There is a fossil found in Canada from a famous shale and it has turned out to be a 500 million year old monster-looking predator. It had spiny claws and circular jaw with extremely sharp teeth. The structure of this monster is unlike any arthropod ever found.
