The fossils include many soft-bodied creatures found in rocks which are hundreds of millions of years old.
They were discovered near Llandrindod Wells, Powys, in mid Wales.
The rocks were laid down under the sea over 460 million years ago when mid Wales was covered by an ocean.

Oh, that’s super exciting. Amazing that they’ve survived to this day. There must be so much, still waiting to be discovered just a wee bit under the ground throughout the world.
Stupid question but how are they usually found? Just visually or do they have better technology
That’s a very dodgy looking worm in the ground on that picture.
