Researchers Develop a Treasure Map for the Search for Past Life

Дата публикации: 24-09-2026 06:53:00

Fossils are our only source of information for reconstructing the history of life on Earth. However, the fossil record is incomplete: We know a lot about some geological eras, but very little about others. Palaeontologists have now drawn a global map to serve as a guideline for fossil hunters: They have identified areas around the world where previously unknown fossils are most likely to be found. Their overview shows where the search for past life may be most rewarding for researchers. In particular, geological strata from Earth’s more recent history remain unexplored in many regions. The scientists published the results of their study in the journal Science Advances.
