520 Million-Year-Old Fossilized Brain And Nervous System Of Sea Monster Found In Greenland
15 March 2018, 12:48 pm EDT By Jean-Pierre Chigne Tech Times


Scientists in Greenland discovered the fossilized brains and nervous system of an ancient animal that lived 520 million years ago. Kerygmachela kierkegaardi swam in the oceans and was a fearsome animal.

It is the ancient relative to today's arthropods.
 
Researchers uncovered 15 fossils in loose rocks that were damaged by weather conditions in the area. Previous fossils of Kerygmachela kierkegaardi didn't reveal much about the ancient creature, those fossils were deteriorated to the point where scientists couldn't learn much.
