How about a Prehistoric/Extinct Animals thread?

I am absolutely fascinated by Cambrian Period fauna, I can't read enough about them.

I also think the Cambrian is the most interesting era. Out of all the scientific mysteries, the Cambrian explosion might bother me the most.

Thanks, that's amazing, any other neat agnathans? I'm only really familiar with the two modern ones and this design on a fish is just blowing my mind.
