Guest Nicholas Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 ScienceDaily (Oct. 12, 2008) — A unique set of fossils indicates that 525 million years ago marine animals congregated in Earth’s ancient oceans, most likely for migration, according to an international team of scientists.

Auspex Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 It will be days before I can get past the coolness of the fossil enough to begin thinking about what it means! What a find!

Auspex Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 "Another possibility...is that the animals may have been preserved before they hatched out of this long egg case." I like this idea better than the "migrating chain", since mobility would have been impeded by a head-to-tail linking.

mommabetts Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 But I am waiting for them to change their minds or for someone to come along and say it aint so. That is what usually happens with new findings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I'm pretty sure this one is to stay, similar migrations have occurred and that mega fossil is Empirical evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
