dollocaris

This is a list of the most scientifically influential fossil stories of 2016. Not only do we have new species turning up at a breakneck pace, like a “three-eyed” Triassic reptile and an invertebrate that carried its young like kites, but we have also gained a new perspective of how life on Earth even began with the oldest fossil remains of all time.

It may not be the biggest marine monster of the Jurassic but the mammoth eyes of Dollocaris certainly make it the most adorable.
