Dream - Scientists have successfully discovered the fossil of a multicellular organism that has many pores and is known as a sponge. The animal, referred to as 'Little Dal' by experts, was found within limestone in northwest Canada. According to scientists, this sponge is the oldest animal discovery they have made to date. According to arkeonews.net, the fossil of this animal was discovered by geologist Elizabeth Turner in a remote location in the northwest region of Canada that can only be accessed by helicopter.

According to scientists, life on Earth began approximately 3.7 billion years ago. Meanwhile, the first period of animals appeared over a long period of time. However, the exact timing is still a subject of debate among experts. Nevertheless, it does not negate the fact that the earliest fossilized sponges date back to around 540 million years ago, during the Cambrian period. "This will be the first time that sponge fossils are found from before the Cambrian, and not just before, but far before. That's what makes it most interesting," said Cardenas from Uppsala University.
