I like the really old fossil animals that lived before most of those we are familiar with evolved. They are really weird.
I never heard of this one before, but it looks really, really weird!

?Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ?Wow! What a Ride!? ~ Hunter S. Thompson

I found a back door in the figures from the original article (its in Nature and behind a paywall):
You can see other figures by clicking the "next" or "previous" below the figure you are viewing.
