97-million-year-old fossils reveal the earliest known animal "GPS"
Date:
October 2, 2026
 Source:
University of Cambridge
Summary:
 Mysterious 97-million-year-old magnetic fossils may be the oldest evidence of
 an animal using Earth's magnetic field like a built-in GPS.
 Their sophisticated magnetic structure could have helped an unknown ocean
 creature navigate thousands of kilometers with surprising precision.
