🦴🎸 Scientists at Memorial University of #Newfoundland renamed ancient seafloor #fossils "Lydonia jiggamintia" after punk rocker Johnny Rotten, identifying them as 560-million-year-old filter-feeding #animals rather than decomposed organic matter. The spiky, tube-covered creatures may be ancestors of modern sponges and represent some of #Earth's earliest animals from the #Precambrian period.
