Huge 420-million-year-old fish species rediscovered in Indian Ocean
A humongous "fossil fish" with origins that can be traced back 420 million years has resurfaced in the West Indian Ocean off the coast of Madagascar.
The 6.5-feet, up to 198-pound coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae) was believed to have gone extinct at least a century ago. However, a recent study published in the SA Journal of Science revealed that as of May 2020 as many as 334 coelacanth captures had been documented.
Does this put a flaw in carbon dating of fossils, or lead to a loch ness monster realizm? Thoughts?
