But most fossils only preserve the hard parts of organisms, like bones, shells or teeth. Soft tissues, like skin, muscles and organs are rarely preserved in the fossil record, so how on (prehistoric) Earth are we meant to understand the history of life before skeletons evolved? Step back in time, 500 million years ago, with palaeontologist Dr Ross Anderson, Royal Society University Research Fellow, to explore how antibacterial clay-rich rocks may hold the answer. Discover how the exceptionally preserved fossils within illuminate life on Earth before skeletons or shells appeared, shedding light on the earliest multicellular life.
