The Color of Crinoids Scientists have discovered complex organic molecules still preserved within 350-million-year-old crinoid fossils. Because the molecules are slightly different from species to species, the find could offer a new way to track the creatures' evolution through time. |

Reworking the Cambrian Explosion Trilobite diversification during the Cambrian is thought to exemplify the explosion of animals and plants. New research suggests, however, that the trilobites diversified much earlier, thus calling into question the theory and possible dates of a biological big bang caused by tectonic movement. |

Correcting the Fossil Record Recently, paleontologists have been working on ways to fill in gaps in life's diversity record, and some researchers are finding that climate change -- including greenhouse gas warming -- may play a pivotal role in preserving fossil assemblages. |

Ancient Bird Fossil Makes a Splash Recent expeditions in a remote area of China have unearthed unusually well-preserved fossils of an ancient bird that lived between 105 million and 115 million years ago. The fossils of the surprisingly modern-looking bird suggest that today's birds may have originated from an aquatic ancestor. |
