In Depth
A member of the Craniata, Myllokunmingia is considered to have been a relative of organisms such as lampreys and hagfish, though even the latter has had a controversial assignment. Myllokunmingia seems to have had a body divided into twenty-five segments with five or six gills. Myllokunmingia is also believed to have been related to Zhongjianichthys and Haikouichthys.
