Fossil named after Sir David Attenborough ‘is first animal predator’
The fossil of the earliest known animal predator has been named after Sir David Attenborough.
The 560-million-year-old specimen is the first of its kind, and is thought to be the earliest creature to have a skeleton, researchers say.
Called Auroralumina attenboroughii, it was found in Charnwood Forest, near Leicester – a city with which Sir David has long established links.

A sad sight, the decline of Attenborough. Though I suppose he must have taken part in lots of TV programmes that have faked the evidence. After all, everything else on the telly is fake.
dearieme - it is sad. I seem to remember some instances where some of his programmes were said to have used contrived scenes passed off as genuine.
