The discovery occurs in Australia, the fossil of a vertebrate of 560 million years ago, 30 years before the oldest known to date.

The curious thing is that the fossil has not been discovered by a paleontologist, but by an Australian pastor. When the pastor saw the fossil in the sandstone, it looked like a special structure and has kept it for four years on the railing of his home until someone has noticed the importance of the fossil.
