For many years now, scientists have been trying to discover a creature that roamed the earth man years before the dinosaurs. By finding detailed fossils in Morocco, paleontologists have identified it. Given the name Stylophorans, these creatures looked like wall decorations with long arms coming from the sides. New studies have shown that they are echinoderms, which are ancestors of animals like sea urchins or starfish.
While it wasn't an extremely interesting time before humans or even the dinosaurs existed, it is extremely interesting to hear what creatures could have been on the planet such a long time ago. often times this study is overlooked and I personally think that it should be addressed more often. development of life on earth was a slow process and it existed for an extremely long time before other creatures were on it.
