Four camera-type eyes in the earliest vertebrates from the Cambrian Period - Nature

|
By Xiangtong Lei, Sihang Zhang, Peiyun Cong, Jakob Vinther, sarah gabbott, fan wei
| Nature
Abstract Vertebrate vision is mainly accommodated by a pair of lateral image-forming camera-type eyes and is supplemented in non-mammalian vertebrates by a dorsal pineal complex (pineal and parapineal organs) functioning as photoreceptive and/or endocrine organs1. The pineal complex shares a common genetic and embryological basis with the lateral eyes, both derived from evaginations during the development of diencephalon2.

| Science Magazine
Abstract Nectocaridids are enigmatic Palaeozoic animals with a controversial phylogenetic position. Previous hypotheses have placed them in their own phylum, chordates, molluscs (specifically cephalopods), or radiodont panarthropods. We describe here a nectocaridid, Nektognathus evasmithae gen. et sp. nov. from the early Cambrian (~519 million years) Sirius Passet Lagerstätte of North Greenland.
