Yes! Awesome info! :) Reminds me of the Trilobite;

Trilobite

These strangely beautiful creatures - named not for their distinctive cephalon, thorax and pygidium (head, body, tail), but rather for the three lobes that divide their lateral symmetry - would eventually evolve into more than 20,000 scientifically recognized species and dominate the world's oceans for the next quarter of a billion years.

Tardigrades

I think the best kickass lifeform are the Tardigrades!
