Tiny fossils reveal missing chapter of ocean life after Snowball Earth

Original: Tiny fossils reveal a missing chapter of ocean life after Snowball Earth

Scientists have described tiny fossils that shed light on ocean life in the period following the Snowball Earth glaciations, when the planet was largely covered in ice. The find points to previously undocumented early life forms that emerged as oceans recovered, filling a gap in the fossil record and offering new clues about how complex ecosystems restarted after the deep freeze.

Why now: New fossil evidence clarifies how life rebounded after the planet-wide glaciations, a major open question in Earth history.
