Dawn of complex animal food webs: A new predatory anthozoan (Cnidaria) from Cambrian

Cnidarians diverged very early in animal evolution; therefore, investigations of the morphology and trophic levels of early fossil cnidarians may provide critical insights into the evolution of metazoans and the origin of modern marine food webs. However, there has been a lack of unambiguous anthozo...
