This unique tulip-shaped animal likely attached itself to the ocean floor like modern sea anemone. It lived 500 million years ago during the Cambrian Period. Scientists believe it fed by filtering particles from water with its calyx (the top of the organism). #FossilFriday

#DYK our Cretaceous Garden includes fossils? The plants growing in this exhibit are living relatives of vegetation that grew in Alberta during the Cretaceous Period. If you look closely, you’ll notice a hadrosaur footprint and some petrified wood among the plants.
