We are particularly excited as the cover artwork, as well as a good chunk of the video, features our recent work on the early Ordovician somasteroid (stem-group asterozoan) Cantabrigiaster fezouataensis, from the Fezouata biota in Morocco. You can check out the original publication in Biology Letters describing this fascinating animal HERE, and the YouTube video below. Artwork courtesy of Franz Anthony.
