Bizarre ancient #sea creature brings evolution mystery to the surface
A new #tunicate #fossil, a close relative of vertebrates, is half a billion years old. There is now strong evidence that #tunicates are the closest relatives to #vertebrates, but a mystery still surrounds them. How did they evolve, and what did they evolve from? A 500 million-year-old fossil is now telling us more about the #evolution of these peculiar life forms. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/07/bizarre-ancient-sea-creature-brings-evolution-mystery-to-the-surface/

I adore this image so much. I think it looks like a painting! Sea squirts from a marina in Suffolk. 2022 was the year I first went dock fouling. 😍

I can’t wait to go dock fouling again. This colonial sea squirt Botrylloides diegensis was pretty special.
