A haul of amazingly preserved fossils, some of soft-bodied animals like Comb jellies, have been unearthed in China (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/mar/21/mindblowing-haul-of-fossils-over-500m-years-old-unearthed-in-china). The fossils are more than 500 million years ago representing the pre-Cambrian 'explosion' of new animal forms. They provide intriguing insights to a period when animals almost seemed to be experimenting with form and life-style.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
