Scientists Discover a 319-Million-Year-Old Fossilized Brain
The brain has been hidden inside a fossil fish skull and is now revealing animal evolution secrets. A fish died a long time ago, was buried in sediments, and eventually became fossilized. It is now the focus of a study that reveals "the oldest example of a well-preserved vertebrate brain" 319 million years later. Rodrigo Figueroa, a doctoral student at the University of … [Read more...] about Scientists Discover a 319-Million-Year-Old Fossilized Brain
Scientists Resurrect 48,500-Year-Old “Zombie Virus” Buried in Ice
Scientists have long warned that the release of previously trapped greenhouse gases, such as methane, caused by the permafrost thawing brought on by atmospheric warming will worsen climate change. Researchers who revived nearly two dozen viruses, including one that was frozen under a lake more than 48,500 years ago, believe that the thawing of ancient permafrost caused by … [Read more...] about Scientists Resurrect 48,500-Year-Old “Zombie Virus” Buried in Ice
