Researchers have discovered an exceptionally well preserved fossil in 430 million-year-old rocks representing a new species of primitive sea cucumber, which they have named Sollasina cthulhu due to its resemblance to the sea deity from H. P. Lovecraft’s fictional universe.

An international team of paleontologists created an accurate 3D reconstruction of the remains—which were discovered at a site in the U.K. county of Herefordshire—revealing an important circulatory system which was previously unknown in this group of animals, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
