Weird Wonders
Description
Professor Richard Fortey journeys high in the Rocky Mountains to explore a 520-million-year-old fossilized seabed containing bizarre lifeforms that revolutionized our understanding about the beginnings of complex life. His discoveries include: marine creatures with five eyes and a proboscis; filter-feeders shaped like tulips; worm-like scavengers covered in spikes but with no identifiable head or anus; and a meter-long predator resembling a giant shrimp.
