Scientists discover flea fossil..

[IGBT]

Text


The tiny relics which are less than two millimetres long are the remains of cladocerans, or water fleas, which lived 410 million years ago.

Experts at the National Museum of Scotland said the discovery, in the world-renowned cherts sediments at Rhynie, was of global importance.

Since at least 410 million years ago, seemingly.
