00:07 Good evening, Kapuso!
00:09 I am your brother, Kim, who will give you trivia behind the trending news.
00:13 The experts in Palawan watched the questions.
00:16 Because in a beach in the province, a fossil of an animal was found.
00:20 It has lived for more than 500 million years.
00:24 [Intro Music]
00:27 Experts are now studying this rock in Sabang Beach in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan.
00:32 In the rock, a fossil was discovered.
00:35 The missing fossil of a trilobite, which is 8 cm wide, was spotted by a Filipino professor in Japan.
00:42 He was walking on the beach and he found the alleged fossil of a trilobite.
00:46 We went to the site, we took pictures of it.
00:49 We asked for the opinion of the experts.
00:51 His comment was,
00:53 "Kuya Kim, how did fossils form? Kuya Kim, what happened?"
00:57 "Kuya Kim, what happened?"
00:59 The fossil is from the Latin word for fossilist, which means it was taken from the ground.
01:04 There are many ways to form a fossil.
01:06 But most of them are formed when a living organism, like a dead animal or plant,
01:11 is quickly covered by sediments like white, sand or volcanic ash.
01:15 As time passes, the sediments piled up on top of the dead organism will harden like a rock.
01:20 The first fossil discovered was from 570 BC.
01:23 It was a fossil of a marine mollusk.
01:25 When we say fossil, the first thing that comes to mind is dinosaurs.
01:30 The first scientific description of Megalosaurus was in 1824.
01:34 The fossils of this fossil were discovered quickly by the British paleontologist William Buckland.
01:39 What was found in Palawan was a missing fossil of a trilobite,
01:42 an extinct marine arthropod that lived 521 million years ago.
01:46 Meanwhile, what can experts say about the detritus of Jonas?
01:51 We asked for the opinion of the MGB.
01:53 What they commented was that it might not be a fossil.
01:57 It might be the concretions of a white spot on a foreign object.
02:01 That's the feature that we saw that looks like a fossil.
02:04 It's also impossible for a trilobite to be a fossil,
02:06 especially if it's alive and extinct before the rocks on Palawan Island were formed.
02:11 If a trilobite was formed, the age of the rocks on Palawan Island would change.
02:16 But they still have a lot to study about the rocks.
02:20 But do you know what is one of the oldest rocks in the Philippines?
02:23 This is one of the oldest rocks in the Philippines that was formed 210 to 145 million years ago.
02:34 It's the time when dinosaurs were still alive.
02:37 That's why it's called the Jurassic Sandstone.
02:41 And that's why experts say that it's the Jurassic Sandstone age
02:44 because of the ammonite fossils that are inside it.
