Jellyfish Found In Discovering Archaelogists Who Are 540 Million Years Old, Here's The Proof!

Internet Respon - Jellyfish are marine animals that look adorable but also scary. Bacause the sting in his tentacles can cause injury to the human body. In Death Valley, researchers found fossils from the group 's oldest animal.

The findings show that jellyfish behave in the same way, then compared with the living today. However, the environmental condisions at the time were very different from now.

Known, death valley is a hot desert valley and is located in eastern california, then at 540 milion years ago, the desert waas at the tip of the ancient continent with sandy beach beside it.

New scientist explained that Dr. Aron sapenfield, a resercher at the university of california, riverside and his colleagues found the remains of 13 jellyfish on a rocky surface of approximately 10 square feet.

According to the researchers, it comes from the beginning of the cambrian period, which period of profound change in the earth's life when most major groups of animal first appear in the fossil record.

Researchers beliave that the ancient cambrian jellyfish once lived near the shore like the jellyfish that live in this day and age. However, these jellyfish that live in this day and age.However, this jellyfosh are claimed to be much more powerful fossils.

Cambrian jellyfish became suspected fossils due to the absence of land animals at the time to eat their corpses.
Fossils of these jellyfish also allow microbes on the coast to grow and stabilize the sand of the beach. On the contrary, the sand of the beach has now far exceeded for this to happen.
Jellyfish live at a time when life multiplied during the Cambrian explosion.
"With the explosion of Cambrian life, the rules of the world change," Dr. Nicholas Butterfield was not involved in the study.
That period seems to be the first time when animals eat other animals, so the Cambrian is when fossil species with soft and easy to eat the body become less common in the fossil record.
However, the beach may be an exception to this trend, since during the Cambrium event animals rarely go to shore, so soft animals that are stranded on the beach have more chances to become fossils. Similarly quoted from the Daily Mail, Tuesday (01/08/2017).
