Now after over 100 years of studying the species, and half a billion years since its extinction, scientists […]

This was an explosion of life. Within ten million years, a very short period geologically, a host of hard-body and soft-body animals appeared in the fossil record. Trilobites, molluscs, chordates, cnidarians, brachiopods and […]
