Discovery near Bhopal is of the earliest known animal about 550 million years old
Researchers have discovered three fossils of the earliest known living animal the 550-million-year-old ‘Dickinsonia’ on the roof of the Bhimbetka Rock Shelters, about 40 km from Bhopal.
One can identify the fossils from the white leaf-like patches with a central vertebra (central midrib) and connecting veins. While one fossil is 17 inches long, the other two are much smaller.
