Here's the relevant Nature article about specimens from the early vertebrate genera Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia (and the corresponding Nature news article).

Full preprint published on ResearchGate. Credit for the image is persistently given to Xiangtong Lei and Sihang Zhang, the first two authors listed on the paper.
