It always humbles me when I picture the land we live on millions of years ago. When I dig up earth to plant anything, I have to get through so much clay because where I live, it was all under water. That's why we have so many cool water fossils and no dinosaurs here. It's also why when you do find out about any cool fossil findings it seems so magical.
Take this Milwaukee suburb where some soft tissue was discovered. Many ancient crustaceans were discovered from the Silurian period, giving scientists lots of rare tissue to study and learn more about both these creatures and this period. It's such a fascinating find, reminding me of the few dino "mummies" we've been able to learn from so far.
