Scientists have discovered a remarkably preserved 450-million-year-old fossil containing soft tissues from an ancient starfish relative, revealing unexpected details about marine life more than 200 million years before dinosaurs existed. Found in a museum collection, the extraordinarily rare specimen offers new clues about how Earth's earliest reef animals fed, survived, and evolved.
