VELIKO OTKRIĆE U KINI! Nađeni fosili 90 nepoznatih vrsta životinja, koje je lovio BODLJIKAVI PREDATOR
Kineski naučnici su otkrili gotovo stotinu fozilizovanih, do sada nepoznatih, životinjskih vrsta koje su preživele masovno izumiranje pre oko 500 miliona godina.
TL;DR
- Chinese scientists found nearly 100 new fossilized animal species.
- The fossils were discovered in a quarry in the southern province of Hunan.
- Over 50,000 fossil specimens were collected, with 91 new species identified.
- Many fossils preserved soft body parts like gills, digestive organs, eyes, and nerves.
- Discovered species include ancient relatives of worms, sponges, jellyfish, and arthropods.
- The find is important as it dates to the period immediately after a mass extinction event ~500 million years ago, possibly caused by reduced oxygen levels.
- This is the first major discovery of soft-tissue organisms from this specific post-extinction time.
