What produces tracks similar to the fossilized tracks discovered by paleontologists?
Gromia sphaerica
[ "Animal\n\nSome paleontologists suggest that animals appeared much earlier than the Cambrian explosion, possibly as early as 1 billion years ago. Trace fossils such as tracks and burrows found in the Tonian period indicate the presence of triploblastic worms, like metazoans, roughly as large (about 5 mm wide) and c...
