Scientists map ancient sea-life fossils, find richer sites in younger rocks

In an exciting development, researchers have pinpointed potential hotspots for fossil discoveries that remain undocumented. Focusing on the Cenozoic Era, celebrated for its rich marine biodiversity, this study seeks to enhance fossil hunting by concentrating efforts on less explored territories. Additionally, revisiting collections from natural history museums could yield new insights into ancient species, reinforcing the pursuit of understanding marine life from the past.
