2 Sep 20 · 3d ago · 2 posts · 2 sources · development 2 of 2

The fossil discovery gains attention on social media platforms including Bluesky and Mastodon, with posts highlighting how it changes understanding of ambulacrarian (starfish, sea stars, sea urchins, acorn worms) feeding habits and origins.

“A new fossil discovery changes our understanding about the feeding habits of the last common ancestor of ambulacrarians – the clade of invertebrate animals that today includes starfish, sea stars, sea urchins and acorn worms.”
