It was reported in ScienceDaily, the researchers from Ohio State University suggest that animals has been walking using legs 30 million years earlier than previously thought.
From the footprints found (track of two parallel rows of small dots) they firstly thought that it was microbe or multi-cellular animals. Loren Babcock, the professor in the research said that they are now still seeking the possibilities of other animals’s footprints there, like soft corals, some arthropods, and flatworms, as the evidence to convince the founding.
In 2002, Babcock suspected that the tracks were made by an arthropod, because its legs only pressed shallow pinpoints into that long-ago sea bed. At that time, he couldn’t be certain of the length of the creature, or the number of legs it had.
He is going to continue looking in the same region of Nevada, and places where the imilar fossils might be found.
