"They had fins in various places; they had funny dangly bits around their mouths," Riddle told reporters. "They were all bottom dwellers so they were all evolved in different ways to live down on the seabed in the dark. So many of them had very large eyes—very strange-looking fish."

"...so many of them had very large eyes, although what they were going to use them for there, where there is no light I couldn't tell you..."
