Scientists have discovered thousands of fossils on a river bank in China. The fossils are about 518 million years old. They are very unusual because of their soft body tissue like their skin, eyes, and organs are well preserved. Paleontologists have said the findings are mind blowing because many of the fossils come from undiscovered species. There were over 20,000 specimen collected and 4,351 of them have been studied and have come up as jellyfish, worms, sea anemones, and algae. Prof Xingliang Zhang stated that these findings will become a "very important" source when studying the early origins of creatures. Many paleontologists have described the findings as remarkable because they are unlike anything they've ever seen. The fossils are from the Cambrian period which took place over 541 years ago.
