Animal Facts:

Microdictyon: The Netted Armor Worm of the Cambrian

Say hello to Microdictyon, a fascinating worm-like creature from over 500 million years ago! This tiny prehistoric animal is famous for its unique net-like armor plates that adorned its body. With 10 pairs of tube-like legs tipped with small claws, it scurried along the seafloor, possibly using those claws to climb or grab onto surfaces.

Discovered in fossils from China and other parts of the world, Microdictyon’s armored plates were so unusual that they were initially thought to belong to sponges or even alien-like radiolarians! Today, it’s recognized as a member of the ancient lobopodians, distant relatives to modern velvet worms and arthropods. This tiny armored crawler is a true marvel of evolution!
