520 Million Year Old Sea Monster Discovered in Chinese Waters, What's Really Going On?

Said sea monster, in fact, is a never found ancient marine life fossil, human beings are always afraid of the unknown, so gave him the name of sea monster, in fact, he also has a scientific name, called ? Dai Hua San Qiong?

What is a sea monster in the end

According to the The Sun the latest scientific data shows , researchers in Chinese waters found a fossil of ancient creatures, and this is the first time that this creature was found by humans, the creature relies on the strange appearance of the rapid popularity of the creature, people are very curious, so strange creatures are how to evolve came out. In subsequent tests of the fossil, we learned that the creature lived 520 million years ago, hundreds of millions of years older than the dinosaurs. The creature had a peculiar shape, most notably a mouth with 18 tentacles around it, like an octopus. The new species was eventually named ?Daihua sanqiong?, or ? Daihua sanqiong? .

Before humans came along, there were many mass extinctions on Earth, some due to climate and some due to catastrophes (e.g., asteroids hitting the Earth), and Daihua Sanqiong lived on Earth 520 million years ago during the Cambrian Explosion of Life, a time when life on Earth was highly concentrated on the planet. time life on Earth expanded, the first crustaceans, mollusks, echinoderms, jellyfish, worms, ctenophores, and other animals appeared, and Dai Hua San Qiong was among them, so he was called a sea monster just because humans didn't know enough about him, after all, there were too many unknowns, and it took a lot of time to work it out.

What can we learn from the sea monster

Because the sea monster is too far away from us for too long, too long, in the hundreds of millions of years, I do not know how many other kinds of creatures extinction and prosperity, so scientists face this ancient creature is also counted as a difficult problem. First of all, disconnecting creatures is just very difficult, and can only be controlled within a time period, which of course is very undisciplined, and needs to be constantly narrowed down. Although the sea monster was found in Chinese waters, there is no direct evidence that it lived here, since the fossil probably drifted into Chinese waters on ocean currents, and there's no way to know exactly where it lived 500 million years ago.

But from the sea monsters, we can learn the laws of biological evolution over hundreds of millions of years, and if from the sea monsters we learn about their entire biological system, and even project models of biological evolution, then the benefit becomes very great, and will help us understand the history of the Earth very much.

Seeing the fossilized sea monsters hundreds of millions of years ago made me think about the natural environment of the Earth today. Due to the constant destruction of the Earth's environment, there are very many animals on the Earth going extinct every year, and there may not even be a single specimen left, so we also need to think about the danger in peace, and seriously think about what we can do to help the natural environment, after all, the Earth is the home of every one of us.
