1440 - Seaweed fossils found in China dating from over 600 million years ago suggest ancient Earth was not as ice-covered as previously thought, according to new research released yesterday. The study sheds light on how life survived two of the planet's most severe global glaciation events...The new study claims the presence of shale-encased fossils of multicellular organisms dating from the glacial period indicates pockets of complex life survived in "slushy" oases further from the Equator than formerly believed, advancing models of how life evolved through the period.
