Canadian Schoolteacher Discovers a Fossil That May Be 300 Million Years Old
A Canadian schoolteacher recently made a discovery that paleontologists are referring to as a lifetime find.
It may be 300 million years old, represent a brand-new prehistoric species to science, and at most be a “once in a hundred years” discovery that might fundamentally alter the fossil record.
Southwest Prince Edward Island (PEI) resident Lisa Cormier was out on a stroll when she came across what seemed to be a skeleton.

The head, ribs, and spine were all embedded in the stone like fossilized remains. Geologists and paleontologists raced to the cape after she took images and forwarded them to her mother, starting a domino effect.
It was a fossil, and prehistoric PEI specialist John Calder told CBC news that it was “very unusual.”
“A fossil like this comes up every 50 years or 100 years,” he said. “I mean there’s no real frequency, but it’s rare. And this could be a one-of-a-kind fossil in the tree of life … of the evolution of amphibians, to reptiles, to mammals to us.”

Calder thinks it’s an early reptile that diverged from amphibians roughly 300 million years ago, during the Carboniferous period. It may be difficult to determine this period’s position in the development of reptiles or even its exact time in history because so few specimens from it are known.
The researcher cautioned beachgoers to keep an eye out because there are many more beachcombers than there are paleontologists, in addition to the fact that prehistoric finds are becoming more regular.
“To think that I found something that might be 300 million years old, it’s incredible,” Cormier said. “I think it’s gonna be a one-time [thing], but I’ll continue my walks and I’m going to continue to look for sea glass and maybe I’ll find something else.”

The Evolution of Flight: From Dinosaurs to Birds – A Journey Through Time and Science
Flight is one of nature’s most remarkable adaptations, but its origins trace back millions of years before modern birds took to the skies.

The Physics Behind Why Cats Always Land on Their Feet
Cats have an extraordinary survival skill known as the “righting reflex” that allows them to twist midair and land on their feet, even when dropped upside down. This uncanny ability is made possible by their flexible spine, lack of a functional collarbone, and a combination of biological sensors and physical laws governing motion. Astonishingly, kittens develop this reflex as early as three weeks old, mastering the art of graceful landing that defies everyday expectations. This article unravels the science and mystery behind this feline feat.

The World’s First Seismograph: How Ancient China Detected Earthquakes 1,800 Years Ago
Over 1,800 years ago, long before modern technology, the ancient Chinese astronomer and inventor Zhang Heng created the world’s first seismograph in 132 AD. This ingenious bronze device could detect distant earthquakes by releasing small balls from dragons’ mouths into toads’ mouths—each indicating a different compass direction. Its historic detection of an earthquake 400 miles away astonished the imperial court and transformed the way societies understood and responded to seismic events.
