Scans of Australian Fossil Reveal Oldest Bilaterian

April 11, 2020

Longtime Westbury, NY, resident Valerie Varnuska loves learning about the natural world. To this end, Valerie Varnuska is fascinated by sciences such as geology and paleontology. It’s well-established that numerous animals, from humans to insects, feature a bilaterian body plan. This means that they have a back, stomach, head, and tail that are organized as mirror images of one another. Due to this orientation, organisms are capable of moving in a purposeful way, thus establishing the development of bilateral symmetry as an important stepping stone in animals’ evolutionary history. The oldest animals who displayed this type of bilateral symmetry are called bilaterians . Based on studies of modern animals, evolutionary biologists believe these bilaterians have basic sensory organs and are relatively simple creatures. However, fossilized remains of the animal were difficult to find. Rather, paleontologists have exclusively studied fossilized burrows created in Ediacaran-period de

About Me

Valerie Varnuska, a resident of Westbury, NY, enjoys learning about the mechanical innovations that have given rise to the modern world. Certain feats of mechanical engineering especially impress her, including the massive combines that make large-scale farming possible. Valerie Varnuska has observed how technological progress is often a factor of small changes in specific parts that ultimately render machinery more labor efficient.

Besides farm machinery, she’s impressed by state-of-the-art advances like the robotic hand and regularly watches robotic competitions as they appear on television. Besides appreciating mechanical and robotic developments, Valerie Varnuska of Westbury, NY, takes pleasure in observing traditional arts like dance and theater. Her favorites include performances of such classic plays as William Shakespeare’s The Taming of Shrew and such classic operas as Arthur Sullivan’s the Pirates of Penzance.

Moreover, Ms. Varnuska spends time in the outdoors admiring her natural surroundings. She has a fondness for the natural sciences, especially astronomy. On occasion, she takes in the night sky during stargazing excursions.
