Samantha Johnson+FollowAncient Giant Fossil Wasn’t Plant or Fungus?!Imagine an 8-meter-tall mystery organism ruling ancient Scotland—scientists just confirmed Prototaxites was neither plant nor fungus, but a totally extinct branch of life! This wild fossil is now on display in Edinburgh, and it’s blowing paleontologists’ minds. It’s like life tried a whole new experiment 410 million years ago, and we’re only just figuring it out. If you love weird science and ancient mysteries, you’ve gotta see this! #History #FossilFind #AncientLife00Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowFossil With Its Brain Still Intact?!Imagine finding a 520-million-year-old fossil with its brain and guts perfectly preserved—like, you can literally see the nervous system and digestive tract in 3D! Scientists are calling it a 'scientific miracle' because soft tissues like this almost never survive. This little arthropod-like creature is basically a time capsule, showing us that complex brains and guts were already a thing way back in the Cambrian era. It’s like paleontology just got an upgrade from VHS to 4K! #Science #FossilFind #AncientLife30Share
