| Description: |
A global research team has discovered sea lily (isocrinid crinoids) fossils, providing new evidence the species lived in shallow water in the Southern Hemisphere millions of years longer than previously thought. The findings paint a very different picture of the global evolution of our ocean and challenge Marine Mesozoic Revolution, a major theory in palaeontology that explains the evolution of animals occupying shallow sea floors.
