Summary- an odd looking creature, said to have lived over 500 million years ago was found in the Canadian Rockies. Scientific name is "siphusauctum gregarium". It is a tulip shapes creature and about the size of a dinner knife (20 CM) It has a long stem that has an unusual filter system. The animal fed by filtering particles and pumped it into his calyx through small holes throughout it's body. The stem (Like a tulip) had a small disc on it's body that served as an anchor and kept it to the seafloor.
Impact-This impacts the scientific world and how we know Earth because this helps us find out more about the Earth and what creatures had lived before us.
Critique- I think that this is pretty cool. Who knew that an animal could look like a flower?!
