A billion year old micro fossil, found in the Scottish highlands, is the earliest evidence of a multicellular animal found so far.
"The microscopic fossil was discovered at Loch Torridon in Wester Ross by researchers led by the University of Sheffield and the US's Boston College.
Scientists said it could prove a new link in the evolution of animals.
Researchers could identify it contained two distinct cell types thanks to the fossil's "exceptional preservation"."
