The tiny fossils are part of South China's Doushantuo Formation, a limestone bed deposited between 635 and 551 million years ago that contains layers composed almost entirely of fossil embryos.
The team behind the research believes the fossils are the developing offspring of extremely primitive sponge-like creatures.
To resolve the delicate internal structures, the scientists used a technique known as microfocus x-ray computed tomography (microCT). The method allowed the team to construct 3D images of the tiny fossils.
is that the blender show, where those crazy guys with blenders and their soon to be blended gadgets? how about blending sony's battery? wonder if it explodes...
It was on the Discovery Channel show Time Warp, and yes, the Will It Blend guy was a guest. What's impressive (and as can be seen in the video) is the blender still works fine after the explosion.

When archery training we used to put a lighter at 60 or 80 feet, with a lit candle 3 feet under it.
The first one to explode his arrow won!
The guy from Will It Blend was on the show, though and it was one of his blenders.
