Odaraia alata was an arthropod whose taco-shaped carapace gives it an otherworldly appearance.
The 500-million -year-old creature was one of the very first creatures with mandibles.
Scientists at the Royal Ontario Museum found jagged edges near the creature's mouth, a distinctive feature of mandibulates.
The new fossils give a clearer picture that O. alata contributed to an evolutionary arms race.
