Sorry #Arthropods, new research shows Molluscs could have been the first animals on land.
@ZekunWang3, @VirtualPalaeo and team analysed 500 million year old fossils that suggest these pioneers were exposed to air for over 15 minutes.

Before the first permanent colonization of land by arthropods, molluscs made early terrestrial trips lasting at least 15 minutes: ow.ly/WNqg50U4gah #ProcB @VirtualPalaeo @the_palaeoninja

Very pleased to share our latest @NHM_Science paper in @RSocPublishing on simulating the formation of trace fossils, with applications for the colonization of land by animals. Led by @ZekunWang3 with Neil Davies, @the_palaeoninja and @nichnos doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2024.16…

Excited to share our latest findings @NHM_Science! Using CFD-DEM, we modeled trace formation in various environments and identified subaerial morphological instabilities, frequency anlyses suggest mollusc-like pioneers from Cambrian ventured on land first!
