Yohoia utahana, an extinct cambrian arthropod. They kinda look like a shrimp except with a head shield and weird lil' grabbers.
I based this drawing of it on the wikipedia article and a interpretive camera-lucida drawing. The wikipedia article said that it has two eyes, a head shield, and front limbs with weird lil grabbers. For the rear end it has three legs, ten tergites/plates along its back that end in points and three plates that wrap around the back and bottom of the animal at the end, and some flap like appendages hanging from the bottom of the body with fringed setae (setae are basically a type of spike on some arthropods). It also had a telson which is a a tail segment
