These have been studied for quite a while.
Thank you for making the one comment with any science value, on a science post. I learned about something new.
This is an article in the shitrag Torygraph and it doesn’t even include a link to the original paper!
There’s a preprint of the paper here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03.14.643340v1.full.pdf
My Hero! Thanks for posting!
Hmm, preprint, submitted 2025 March 17, appears to be taking a while to get past the review process to full publication. It’s fascinating how much we’ve learned to tell about biological processes by looking at the fossilization end products.
*fossil of an organism
Scientists found fossil extinct around 370 million years ago in Scotland
Fuck clickbaity headlines. And a fossil isn’t a organism anymore.
Also, it’s this one.
“new lifeform that became extinct around 370 million years ago”
