Summary: Paleontologists from Australia, have found a pair of fossil eyes that belong to a creature and also that it was a visual predator. They say it had extraordinarily complex eyes, with 16,000 hexagonal lenses in each eye.

Critique: It was interesting but weird that it had 16,000 hexagonal lenses in each eye and would is a rock that looks like a giant coin form the old days.

Impact: An eye of an animal found in Australia in a rock.
