Another looks a little like the profile of Thomas Eakins, the painter and sculptor.
I see one that gives me the impression of the Stoning of Stephen; the Apostle Paul standing there to one side.

The attached bacteria are symbiotes that fasten themselves to the primary organism to obtain movement capability. The symbiotes have sensors that can provide direction toward nourishment sources but can not easily move to gain access.

The primary organism allows the symbiotes to provide enhanced guidance to also gain access to the food.

Both organisms were unable to adapt and thus died out as did tens of thousands of other such evolutionary dead ends

(bert’s analysis based on actual findings in the study of the Burgess Shale)
