  • Palaeontologists have made an exciting discovery—a fossil of a tunicate dating back 500 million years.
  • A 'tunicate' fossil has represented the first-ever discovery with intact soft tissues and holds the distinction of being the oldest of its kind.
  • Today, some 3000 species of tunicate live in almost every habitat of the oceans.
  • Tunicates are the closest relatives of vertebrates, which includes fish, mammals, and even humans.
