The Cambrian fossil  Protomelission  may actually be a seaweed. Scientist thought that 515-million-year-old fossil may actually be a seaweed and not a not a bryozoan.  

It is quite hard to find the years a fosill with years marked on it.  Some of them were made in Noah's Flood when the Earth was subdued with water.
