And you thought steriods were weird

A research team from Massachusetts Institute of technology found one of the oldest fossils ever. Scientists researched this rock and found many streriods from 635 million years ago. Maybe even longer. These steriods were produced or created by sponges. Sponges are one of or the simplist milticellular organisms. Many are in a quandary about if the fossil was proof that the sponges and multicellular organisms lived 100 years before the Cambrain Explosion. They say that this discovery can tell us how the planets first ecosystem was and how the animals evolved through time.I think that this is fasinating that we can find out what our past was about and how it may even tell us about our future.For more information please go to http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/02/090204135731.htm. Thank you and stay tuned for another killer blog from Freezyman.
