Paleontologists discover a ‘three-eyed’ predator that once roamed Earth’s oceans 500 million years ago

Paleontologists have identified Mosura fentoni, a three-eyed predator from the Cambrian Period, based on over 60 fossils discovered. This "sea moth," a radiodont, offers insights into early arthropod evolution and the ecosystems of that era. Its unique features, including a segmented body and a third eye, highlight the diversity and evolutionary flexibility of early arthropods.
