3-D Fossils Found in Canada

smooth wombat writes "The BBC has a story with pictures of fossils found in Canada which are three dimensional. Even more interesting is that scientists consider the creatures, called rangemorphs, to be neither animal nor vegetable. In a related matter, geologists added the Ediacaran Period, in which these fossils lived, to their official history of Earth, the first new period to be added in 120 years."

If I had to take a swag, I'd say that the significance is that they're fossils of soft-bodied critters [um, or "thingies"] that were found in 3D, as most are squashed flat by the process that fossilized them.
