Research: Squid Evolved 100 Million Years Ago and Experienced Rapid Radiation

Paleontologists have adopted a cutting-edge digital fossil mining technique to examine over 250 fossil beaks from 40 ancient squid species. The findings indicate that there is no prolonged slow-moving change associated with the slower parietal layer, previously linked to the mass extinction event of late white matter around 66 million years ago. Early squid species [...] The post Research: Squid Evolved 100 Million Years Ago and Experienced Rapi…
