Struggling to find something "alien"?

Oh noes, an opinione! Look at anything from the Cambrian and Devonian, especially trilobites and specifically the Moroccan trilobites.
JUST LOOK AT THEM.

Trilobites were, I believe, unique in that the lenses in their eyes were MADE OUT OF ROCK. Or calcite, which is a crystalline form of chalk.
Also see:
Anomalocaris
Opabinia
There's so much we can only speculate about from all those millions of years ago, but they're pretty damn neat.

The trilobites looked SO pretty in all their odd little poses.
Sexy as in THAT IS FUCKING AMAZING
Anomalocaris was awesome and scary, FLEE LITTLE OPABINIA FLEE.
They're such amazing critters, I wish I could doodle them justice XD
I still like the ancient shark with the big fricken' hook on his head.
