Tiny fossils reveal missing chapter of ocean life after Snowball Earth
Original: Tiny fossils reveal a missing chapter of ocean life after Snowball Earth
Scientists have identified microscopic fossils that document a previously unknown phase of ocean life in the aftermath of Snowball Earth, the severe glaciations that wrapped the planet in ice hundreds of millions of years ago. The finds shed light on how marine ecosystems recovered and evolved once the oceans thawed, filling a gap in the fossil record during a pivotal stretch of Earth's history.
Why now: New research is drawing attention because it fills a major gap in what is known about life's recovery after extreme global glaciation.
