This conversation with Murray Gingras is about how the first animals survived in low oxygen environments, based on Murray Gingras, James W. Hagadorn, Adolf Seilacher, Stefan V. Lalonde, Ernesto Pecoits, Daniel Petrash, and Kurt O. Konhauser's\\xa0 scientific article titled \\u201cPossible evolution of mobile animals in association with microbial mats\\u201d. \\xa0

What was the world like 2-3 Billion years ago during the Edicarian time period?\\xa0 What are some of the first trace fossils that we see on Earth?\\xa0 How did animals survive in low oxygen environments?\\xa0 How does the oxygen signature change around microbial mats?

May this exchange serve to expand your geological knowledge on the go.
