Fusil Discovery shows that the Grand Valley was ‘Goldelox Zone’ for the evolution of the early animals

Half a billion years ago, an extraordinary safe bearer of animals has been discovered in the Grand Valley, one of the most famous places in the natural world.

Gyoshum’s rich discovery-such as the first search in the Grand Valley, including small stone collisions, filter-tearing Christians, sharp toothpaste insects, and even food pieces.

The stones were dissolved by dissolving these animals and examined under high -power microscopes, researchers led by the University of Cambridge succeeded in obtaining a very detailed picture of a unique period in the evolution of life on Earth. The results are reported in the journal Science development.

The history of the fossilized animals is 507 to 502 million years ago, during which the Cambrian explosion is known during the era of sharp evolutionary development, when the largest animal groups appear in the first fierce record.

In some areas during this period, nutrients rich waters reinforced the racing of an evolutionary weapon, in which animals develop a variety of foreign adaptations for food, movement or reproduction.

Most of the Cambrian animals are of strictly shed creatures, but in a handful of places around the world, such as the formation of Canada’s Burgess Shell and China’s Maoistanation shells, the conditions are such that the soft parts of the body can be protected before they are exposed.

However, so far, non -skeletal Cambrian animals’ gems were mostly known by the poor environment with oxygen and resources, which was unlikely to start the most complex innovations of the evolution of the initial animal.

Now, the Grand Valley has revealed the first soft physical, or non -adequate, Cambrian fossils from an evolutionary “Goldelix Zone” that provided a lot of resources to accelerate the evolution of the initial animal.

“These rare foamics offer us a complete picture of how life was in the Cambrian era.” Student in the Cambridge Department of Earth Sciences.

“By combining these stupids with their hunger, walking and feeding signs – which are found all over the Grand Valley – we are capable of collecting a whole ancient ecosystem.”

The US musician and his colleagues located Jovasam during a 2023 campaign along the Colorado River, which started the Grand Valley, which is now five to six million years ago.

“Surprisingly, we did not have such a Cambrin-based record from such a Grand Valley,” said Masoni.

“But the geology of the Grand Valley, which contains a lot of excellent and easily torn mud stones, advised us that it could only be a place where we could find some of them.”

Researchers collected several samples of the rock and returned them to Cambridge. The fist -shaped stones were first dissolved in the solution of hydro fluoric acid, and the sesame was passed through several peels. Thousands of small fossils were released. None of the animals were fully protected, but many recognizable structures helped researchers identify that animals belonging to animals belonged to.

Further examination of the foam revealed that during the Cambrian, animals were developing some of the most complicated ways to catch their food and eat. “They were to cut ‘technologies’ for their time, and integrate multiple physical parts into high -strength feeding systems,” said Masoni.

Many of these are the foxes of Christians, who are from a group that includes salty crabs, which is recognized by their bearded teeth. These smaller beings were expanded like hair on the trinamic drains around the mouth, and their hair organs were used to sweep food particles like conveyor belt.

Little drains on their teeth can then grind their food. The detail on the foam is such that many particles like Plankton can be seen near Christian’s mouth.

Other modern -day -long animals in the Grand Valley Cambrian include slug -shaped moles. These animals already had belts or dental chains that were not different from the slows of the modern garden, which helps them to abrude the alkaline or bacteria from the stones.

The most unusual creature identified by researchers is a new species of preypolds, also known as penis or cactus insects, which were widely spread during Cambrian but nowadays are almost extinct.

There were hundreds of complex branching teeth in the Grand Valley Priyapold, which helped to sweep the food particles into its expansion mouth. Due to the size of Jovashim and its foreign row, researchers named the new animals named Kradico Spects, after a fantasy creature of the Star War Universe, after Crete Dragon.

“We can see from these focus that Cambrian animals used to take action on Cambrian animal food have a variety of food styles, some of which have modern counterparts, and some who are more foreign,” said Messenger.

During Cambrian, the Grand Valley was very close to the equator than today, and the conditions were excellent to support a wide range of life. The depth of oxygen -rich water, neither deep nor very shallow, allows maximum nutrients or balance between oxygen, and reduce the damage to the wave and exposure of UV radiation from the sun.

This maximum environment has made it a great place for evolutionary experiences. Since the food was in large quantities, the animals can afford to pose more evolutionary risks to stay beyond competition, which accelerates the overall pace of evolution and advance the assembly of environmental innovations that still form a modern biopsy.

“Animals needed to be complicated through complicated, expensive innovations, but the environment allowed them to do so,” said Masli.

“In a hungry environment with high resources, animals cannot afford to make such physical investments. There are some similarity with economics: invest in abundance and take risk. Become a shortage of shortage and conservative.
