Ottoia prolifica is the extinct species of worm known from Cambrian fossils.

Although priapulid-like worms from various Cambrian deposits are often referred to Ottoia on spurious grounds, the only clear Ottoia macrofossils come from the Burgess Shale of British Columbia, which was deposited 508 million years ago from Australia, Canada, China, Nevada, to possibly Spain as well.

Ottoia was an aquatic lifeform, and then cannot survive outside the water, if have wet skin for survive to avoid the Holocene atmosphere because couldn't survive in direct exposure to the Holocene oxygenated atmosphere for more than a few moments, died from non-Cambrian oxygen.
