My finger pointing to a small, elongated fossil, with a round one nearby.

A Spriggina and a Dickinsonia for you. 🖤 #Nilpena #Ediacra

A finger pointing to a small, fat cylindrical fossil in a slab of rock. There is also a fossil that looks like a squashed, oval jellyfish (?).

Now, a #SundayPixDistance image that’s about distant time. My finger is pointing to a little Spriggina fossil, while a Dickinsonia fossil is nearby. These tiny animal fossils are pre-Cambrian, 550+ million years old. 🤯 #Ediacara #Nilpena #Ikara #FlindersRanges #SundayPix #SouthAustralia

6. So the questions I want to see asked re the #EPBC, & the political response, are:
* Would the proposed amendments save globally valued scientific marvels like #Nilpena?
* Would they save our human heritage, like #Murujuga?
*Would they save Asterolasia, or #Wollemi pines?

Tiny worm makes for big evolutionary discovery: Scientists describe 'Uncus,' the oldest ecdysozoan Everyone has a past. That includes the millions of species of insects, arachnids, and nematode worms that make up a major animal group called the Ecdysozoa.

“Ediacaran animals, which lived 635–538 million years ago, were ocean dwellers; their remains preserved as cast-like impressions on the seabed that later hardened to rock…uncovering them is a labor-intensive, delicate process…“ #ediacara #fossils #PreCambrian #SouthAustralia #Nilpena
