Abstract
⺠Exceptionally well-preserved eyes in Cambrian lobopodian animals (ca 525 Myr). ⺠Eyes of Luolishania and Hallucigenia are composed of multiple visual units. ⺠They may represent an early stage in the development of arthropod eyes. ⺠This study provides direct fossil evidence of evolutionary innovation.
