What do the ginkgo (a tree), the nautilus (a mollusc) and the coelacanth (a fish) all have in common? They don't look alike, and they aren't biologically related, but part of their evolutionary history bears a striking resemblance: these organisms are referred to as "living fossils". In other words, they appear to have escaped the transformations that normally come about over time, through evolution.

Qu’ont en commun le ginkgo (un arbre), le nautile (un mollusque) et le cœlacanthe (un poisson) ? Ils ne se ressemblent pas, et n’ont pas de lien de parenté rapproché. Mais une partie de l’histoire de leur évolution présente une similarité frappante : tous ces organismes sont souvent qualifiés de « fossiles vivants ».

Imagine the seas off Peru, 6 million years ago. A group of long-nosed dolphins swam through the warm seawater, breaking the surface with occasional enthusiastic leaps into the stark sunshine, then diving crisply back into the clear water to join their compadres. Not far away, a pod of small baleen whales headed southward to feed in the nutrient-rich Antarctic waters.

Coelacanths are deep-sea fish that live off the coasts of southern Africa and Indonesia and can reach up to two meters in length. For a long time, scientists believed they were extinct.

Coelacanths are deep-sea fish that live off the coasts of southern Africa and Indonesia and can reach up to two metres in length. For a long time, scientists believed they were extinct. In new research published in Nature Communications, we reveal the best-preserved coelacanth fossil ever found from the ancient period hundreds of millions of years ago when these ancient sea-dwellers first evolved. The fossil comes from the Gogo Formation on Gooniyandi Country in northern Western Australia.
