yes, there are known specimens of Hallucigenia, the most aptly named critter in the fossil record
it was probably an ancestor of or early offshoot from tardigrades and velvetworms

>>8797589
They do in a way, many modern arthropods and annelids are direct descendants of Cambrian animals. The reason these specific creatures don't exist is because of a massive diversification of environments which led to a subsequent diversification of Cambrian lifeforms.

Looks like it has a slug-like foot on the bottom that it glides along the sea floor with. Those big leg-looking things are probably not used for ground mobility though they might be for protection. That big thing that opens looks like it has tiny feeder tentacles that comb the surface for organic debris.

It is probably some form of sea cucumber or similar.

Sea slug, not sea cucumber. No idea why I typed that instead. Specifically, a hooded sea slug variant. I made a longer vid of it.

>>8798877
It's not a matter of the way it fossilized. I don't actually know the reason they would assume that though. Seems to be because it appears to have no legs, it's assumed it swam upside down using its gills or whatever those things are on its underside. http://burgess-shale.rom.on.ca/en/fossil-gallery/view-species.php?id=110&m=2&
