Hallucigenia, an animal lived in the Cambrian period, between 520 and 505 million years ago, has been considered for decades a really weird animal, hence the name. It looked like it could be part of a family that got extinct but the discovery of new fossils allowed to study it better since the ’90s. Now according to a new research carried out at the University of Cambridge hallucigenia, or rather the hallucigenia genus, is a lobopode, related to modern velvet worms, part of the Onychophora phylum.
