Discovery of 430 Million-Year-Old Mollusc Fossils Challenges Evolutionary Understanding

Credited from: BBC

  • Scientists have found two 430 million-year-old mollusc fossils in Hertfordshire, named Punk and Emo.
  • The fossils, dating back to a time when much of southern Britain was under the sea, challenge previous views on mollusc origins.
  • 3D modelling has been used to illustrate the fossils, showing intricate details and indicating the creatures’ lives on the seabed.
  • Researchers noted that the "exceptional preservation" of these fossils reveals previously unknown details about early mollusc evolution.
  • The findings have implications for understanding the diversity and complexity of early molluscan life, previously thought to be simple.
