Revealing the first animal species to live on the ground

The successful rendering of the first four-legged animal that lives on the ground with 3D technology has shown incredible details, overturning human understanding of them over the past 100 years.

3D ultrasound technology has been used by archaeologists to accurately identify the backbone of an animal fossil in stone. Using high-resolution images, experts can determine how to form the vertebrae of the first four-legged animal that lives on the ground.

Mysterious 3D image decoding of the first animal species on land.

The 3D ultrasound image shows a comprehensive view of fossils of ancient animals encased in rocks dating to about 360 million years old. Fossils of the first animal species on the ground were discovered more than 100 years ago. However, the way biologists order the vertebrae of this species is completely inverted from the fossil bone sample found in the newly discovered rock.

The new discovery makes the world's leading scientists forced to rebuild the evolutionary scheme of the spine during hundreds of millions of years of evolution. In addition, by understanding the alignment of the spine allows us to explore how the spine moves when the animal moves as well as the ability of the limbs during the early transition from the aquatic environment to life. land.

In addition, the spine also reveals how the sternum grows to support organs that are unaffected by the weight of the entire body weight during the process of moving the environment from the water to the ground. It also shows the support of the limbs to help the whole body move on the ground. For that reason, the newly discovered finding will make major changes to people's understanding of evolution.
