In their study, published in the journal Cretaceous Research, the team, led by first author Dr. Jean-Michel Bichain of the Museum of Natural History and Ethnography in Colmar, France, concludes that the presence of hairs may have offered the mollusks a selective advantage in their evolution.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-10-hairy-snail-million-year-old-amber.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Hairy snail discovered in 99-million-year-old amber<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International researchers, including Senckenberg&#8217;s Dr. Adrienne Jochum, have discovered a new species of land snail in an approximately 99-million-year-old piece of amber.
