Didn't even need to see the link, after seeing the image first to get the idea that it's a marrellomorph. I like the crazy colors in the artwork.

I hadn't realised that there is a marrellomorph known from as late as the Devonian. Or that their phylogenetic position is still uncertain. I wasn't familiar with the artist's name either, Christian McCall.

That's very cool, thanks for sharing!
