Happened all the time. It just depends on the environment. Check out basically anything on the "Tully monster" if you want to know more.

Tully monsters are actually even older than OPs fossil and we have no idea where they came from or where they went, from an evolutionary perspective.

Ok.

I mean, there were weird things in the waters at the time and those grabber noses(?) were all the hype.

Iirc the closest modern day relative is some form of sea slug. How you go from spore to slug has got to be a wild journey
