The Earth’s extinction was caused by Jellyfish, not a meteorite
The scientific community has always kept on its’ toes in understanding how a million years ago all life on Earth got extinguished by a meteorite impacts or volcanic super-eruptions.
A new report by the Vanderbilt University suggests a complex immobile micro-organism shaped like disc and tubes similar to plants called Ediacaran. They had taken over the planet around 600 million years ago and was called Garden of Ediacara.
According to the Paleontologists, life forms later evolved 60 million years ago into what we now call jellyfish, sponges, mollusks and such like. It was these ‘critters’ that ate all the Ediacarans and caused the First extinction.
