Canadian fossil cache suggests complex animals began earlier than we thought

A fossil-rich site in Canada’s Northwest Territories yields over 100 Ediacaran specimens, including Dickinsonia, Funisia, and Kimberella, with six taxa not previously found in North America. Some fossils date to about 567 million years ago, pushing back the White Sea assemblage by roughly 5–10 million years compared with finds in Europe, Asia and Australia. The discovery implies complex, mobile animals evolved in North America earlier than once believed and may indicate a deep-water origin that reshapes late-Ediacaran Earth history.

America-only manual: BMW bets on the M3 CS Handschalter as a rear-drive sendoff

BMW will offer a very limited 2027 M3 CS Handschalter for North America—a rear-drive, manual-only version that weighs about 42 lb less than the AWD CS thanks to CFRP parts and a titanium exhaust, while delivering 473 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque with a 4.1-second 0–60 mph time and 180 mph top speed. It uses tuned chassis settings from the M4 CSL, lighter components, and options like carbon-ceramic brakes; standard 19/20-in wheels with performance tires, and optional carbon-fiber bits. Two heritage colors are free (Black Sapphire and Isle of Man Green); Imola Red and Techno Violet cost $4,500. Priced from $108,450 (destination) in the U.S., deliveries start in the fall to the U.S. and Canada, with a public reveal at the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA prior to the next M3 generation.”,

Mexico says foreign agents weren’t authorized to operate on its soil after deadly raid

Mexico’s security ministry says two U.S. agents killed in a car crash after returning from a clandestine drug-lab raid were not authorized to participate in Mexican operations; one entered as a visitor and the other with a diplomatic passport, and Mexico says it was unaware of foreign involvement. The case is being reviewed with local authorities and the U.S. Embassy, as officials from both sides offer differing accounts of the operation.
