The fossil of a 520-million-year-old ancient sea creature that had 18 tentacles has been found in China, a discovery that has stunned researchers. The incredible find, known as Daihua sanqiong, may have been a distant relative to the comb jelly, according to the scientists who unearthed it. “You could see these repeated dark stains along each tentacle that resembles how comb jelly combs fossilize. The 18 tentacles contained "fine feather-like branches with rows of large ciliary hairs," which were used to help the creature catch prey, the statement added. Dinomischus, a creature that lived 508 million years ago, also had 18 tentacles and an organic skeleton.
