When will evolutionists say that 500 million year old fossils do have their brain in view is an anomaly and millions of years do not count as fact?  

Researchers have found the fossil of worm-like creature that lived half a billion years ago. 

“The creature died while still in its early development, or larval stage, and belongs to a new species named Youti yuanshi, which combines the standard Chinese words "yòutǐ," meaning "larva," and "yuánshǐ," meaning "primitive," according to a new study published Wednesday (July 31) in the journal Nature. “

It was a Cambrian animal fossil with its brain intact.

"But larvae are so tiny and fragile, the chances of finding one fossilised are practically zero — or so I thought!" says Martin Smith, an associate professor in paleontology at Durham University.
