The mysterious Tully monster is not likely to have been a vertebrate - despite its hard cartilage ridged back - scientists claim, after discovering unusual elements within its fossilised eyes.
Tullimonstrum, also known as the Tully monster, which lived 300 million years ago, has baffled scientists since fossils were first discovered 60 years ago.
A previous discovery in 2016 found Tully to have a stiffened rod of cartilage that supported its body and gills - suggesting that the creatures were predatory vertebrates, similar to some primitive fish.

It was a poor design from the start.
The eyes were too vulnerable, and the mouth and gullet were too narrow for a body that size..................

Wait, what????
Scientist might have been wrong? How is that possible it is science! The MSM and Scientist tell us everyday that when they make a claim it is the truth and we all better believe it r we are deniers!

Just maybe the parts they found don’t really fit together that way ...
And if ya believe in evolution, that ‘design’ just doesn’t fit the “survival of the fittest” model.
