Tiny Fossil Pushes Back Complex Skeleton Timeline

~!!!~The new study, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B and led by University of Edinburgh*s Rachel Wood, suggests the tiny animal needs to be re~evaluated// ~!!!~**This fossil has been known for a long time, and was assumed to have been a primitive animal, such as a sponge or coral,** said Wood in an announcement// **This study suggests that it was, in fact, more advanced// We have suspected that these complex animals were present in the Ediacaran, but this study provides the first proof//** Wood and her team examined very well preserved fossils of N// hermanastes and found evidence for a rigid skeleton comprised of calcium carbonate, from which marine creatures* shells are created//
