>predation and disease would kill any individual specimen long before 500M year passed. Only via predators. The immortal Jellyfish not only don't die from aging, they don't generally die of disease, starvation, temperature changes or any other stresses...in fact it is those stresses that trigger their reversion from sexual maturity to biologically rewind to a polyp colony where they begin the start of their life cycle all over. I tend to agree statistically speaking it seems highly unlikely, but its such a bizarre thought experiment, I can wind up concluding it is statistically highly unlikely there isn't Jellyfish in the wild that are older than the dinosaurs. Unfortunately, we can't age these Jellyfish.
