Researchers say the ancient creature is reminiscent of giant worms in the Hollywood film Dune.
An ancient worm discovered in Herefordshire was a carnivorous predator that stuck its throat out to catch and eat prey, according to scientists.
The marine worm is thought to have lived on the sea floor about 425 million years ago, when the region was under water. Radnorscolex is reminiscent of giant worms in the Hollywood film Dune, according to Dr Richie Howard, curator of fossil arthropods at the National History Museum. The Natural History Museum in London used state-of-the-art imaging techniques to analyse the remnants.
