500-million-year-old fossils found in NW China

Fossils dating back to 530 million years ago have been found in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, local public communication authorities said Thursday.

The colorful coral rocks were found on a hill in Hanyuan Town, Ningqiang County. Circular patterns can be seen in the rocks.

Prehistoric fossil researcher Wei Binghua identified the rocks as fossils of molluscan invertebrate pelagos, a low-level marine animal.
