South Australian Museum and University of Adelaide scientists working on fossils from Kangaroo Island have found eyes belonging to a giant 500 million-year-old marine predator that sat at the top of the earth's first food chain.

The researchers now have an artist's impression of the metre-long super predator Anomalocaris, thanks to artist Katrina Kenny.

This image has been used as the cover for the 8 December 2011 issue of Nature.
