The extended class of topological materials includes topological (semi) metals that support non-trivial topological surface states in the form of one-dimensional Dirac lines or Fermi-arcs connecting two Weyl points. Here we study a ternary compound using a combination of systematic theoretical calculations and detailed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements. In contrast to other topological materials, our first-principles calculations suggest that the band inversion is dp type instead of the mostly observed sp type band inversion. We identify multiple Dirac fermionic states at various binding energies. A Dirac cone is computed at the Γ point about 0.5 eV above the chemical potential. Most importantly, at around 1 eV below the Fermi level our calculations reveal a surface nodal line-like feature passing through the time-reversal invariant point M. Our systematic study suggests a new family of materials for exploring the coexistence and competition of multiple fundamental fermionic quantum states.
