Fossils found in South Africa's Northern Cape Province were 2600 feet beneath. If it verified as both multicellular and fungal, it can be the 2.4 billion-year-old minuscule creatures.
Two unknown men were seen in the area of the Death Valley National Park, where the fossils have been stolen. With the help of the local people, investigators try to identify these two men.
A newly discovered fossilized ancient relative of crabs, shrimps, and lobsters 430 million years old which are also exceptionally preserved including its complete soft-parts was named in honor of Sir David Attenborough.
With recent archaeological findings proving that researchers may not know as much about prehistoric life as they once thought, researchers with the American Museum of Natural History are taking another look at interpreting the diets of long-extinct animals, and what they’re finding points to finding the source of a prehistoric diet. Though teeth shape has been used for decades as a primary indicator as to the dietary habits of a fossilized subject, in a new study published today in the journal PLOS ONE, researchers are now saying that skull shape and ancestral lineages, both before and after extinction events, may serve as a proxy for what these animals truly once ate.
