Still Waters Posted April 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Tiny, spherical fossils found in southern China appear to be the embryos of a previously unknown animal. The fossils come from the Cambrian, a period dating from 540 million to 485 million years ago and known for an explosion of diversity. Some of the organisms that appeared during the Cambrian, such as the bug-like trilobite, had exoskeletons and other hard parts that fossilized nicely. Others, including sponges and worms, were made of soft tissue that rarely preserves. http://www.livescien...yo-fossils.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
