Ancient Sea Creature Fossil Defies Time: Soft Tissue Intact After 450 Million Years—What Secrets Does It Hold?
Not only does the discovery deepen researchers’ knowledge of prehistoric crinoids, it also provides clues about entire ecosystems that flourished in Earth’s oceans hundreds of millions of years ago.
“Fossilized remains of long‑extinct species can show features well outside the range of variation we see in living species,” Dr. Wright said. “By comparing ecological ways of life for extinct and modern species, we can understand how patterns of adaptive evolution have changed through time and what factors shaped the modern biosphere.”
After reading about the discovery of a 450-million-year-old crinoid with soft tissue intact, learn about this terrifying 20-armed feather star found in the Antarctic Ocean. Then, discover these dinosaur fossils found with preserved skin.
