Its such an amazing find. Rock from that time period in Earth's history is rare enough, but to also find fossils in them is a lucky and/or fortunate event.

When you look at it in the right context, 600 million years of complex life is such a short period in the history of the Earth. If more ancient rocks and fossils could be found, I really wonder what it would tell us about those aeons and aeons of unknown time. What could have been happening here on Earth that we simply have little or no record for?
