Orsten - Microscopic Images of Cambrian Fossils

Orsten or stinkstone (it smells like rotten eggs), is a limestone nodule that has preserved Cambrian fossils extremely well. Scanning Electron Microscopic images of the fossils reveals incredible detail.

Cool images, thanks! Amazing that these are so well preserved for being almost 6000 years old.

Somebody needs to do a timelapse animation of the apparent path of evolution from slime mold to us. I think it would be highly educational for the 45% polled by Gallup who said they are creationists. 35% of those poll respondents said evolution was not "well supported" by the evidence. Hmmm. Bush's present approval rating is 37%. Coincidence? I think not :)

Amazing that these are so well preserved for being almost 6000 years old. Isn't that around the time of the flood?

Here's a nice animation that kind of suits that purpose: noitulovE (embedded Quicktime).

All though this one does a great job, it doesn't quite reach back to the slime mold
