Unearthed from the Precambrian sandstone of Nilpena Ediacara National Park, this diminutive fossil bridges a critical gap in the fossil record, offering long-sought evidence of Ecdysozoans before ...

I am particularly interested in applying my work to Precambrian chemical sediments, which formed prior to the evolution of biomineralizing organisms. My research encompasses lab experiments, modeling, ...

This tiny fossil, measuring just a few centimeters, is significant as it is the oldest confirmed ecdysozoan and the only one known from the Precambrian era. Lead researcher Ian Hughes, a Ph.D. can ...

The Precambrian eon is vast, almost unimaginably so. In fact, before some fossil discoveries were made late in the 20th century, it was considered unknowable -- evolution's dark ages. The ...
