Exquisitely-preserved fossil deposit a window on early life on land | Susannah Lydon

How life made the move onto land is one of the big questions for palaeobiologists. The physiological challenges were immense, and affected most facets of life. Organisms needed to adapt how they gained water (and prevented themselves drying out), how to obtain nutrients, how to exchange gases with the atmosphere, how to support and move a body without water buoyancy, not to mention reproducing out of water.
