thatscienceguy:The Alien World of the CambrianIf you were to wake up one day and find yourself surrounded by these amazing creatures, after first freaking out, you would probably come to the conclusion that you were on some alien world.But in actuality these are all real organisms from earths distant past - the Cambrian period.
