For 140 years, the Ballarat Municipal Observatory in Mount Pleasant has kept its telescopes trained on the night sky, ...
Animal life is extraordinarily diverse and complex, having colonised almost all environments on Earth – from hostile hydrothermal vents in the deep sea to the skies across our continents. But all this ...
Imagine being transported 500 million years into Earth’s past, landing in a world that feels both alien and dangerously unfamiliar. You have just arrived in the Cambrian Period, a time when life on ...
Chelicerates are an ecologically important and successful evolutionary lineage that can trace the origins of each of its constituent groups to between 440 million and 470 million years ago in the ...
A newly discovered fossil site in southwest China has transformed our understanding of how complex animal life emerged on Earth, revealing that many key animal groups had already evolved before the ...
A remarkable fossil discovery in southwest China is rewriting the story of how complex animal life began, showing that many key animal groups appeared millions of years earlier than scientists once ...

The Jiangchuan Biota indicates that we may have misjudged the Cambrian “explosion” of complex life.
Animal life is extraordinarily diverse and complex, having colonized almost all environments on Earth—from hostile hydrothermal vents in the deep sea to the skies across our continents. But the planet ...
Around 540 million years ago, the ocean erupted with complex life: Creatures rapidly transformed from simple, soft-bodied, ocean-floor-dwelling animals into bodies we might recognize today—animals ...
More than 539 million years ago, soft, clarinet-shaped animals anchored themselves to the seafloor on disc-shaped bases, swaying alongside stalked animals resembling worms and baskets. These ...
