 Photo by Tumisu on Pixabay A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Toronto's Mississauga campus in Canada has made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of paleontology. The study reveals that a recently unearthed skin fossil, found in a limestone cave in Oklahoma, USA, is estimated to be a staggering 289 million years old.
