Argentine scientists discover 'oldest tadpole in the world'

Argentine scientists have discovered the world's oldest tadpole, which lived alongside dinosaurs in the Middle Jurassic period some 161 million years ago, a key paleontological find for understanding the evolution of frogs and toads. The excellent state of preservation of the fossil found in Argentina's vast southern Patagonian region during a dinosaur dig led researchers to conclude the living form of tadpoles has remained almost unchanged over the past 160 million years.
