Paleontologists have discovered fossils of two previously unknown conifer species dating back 100 million years in ...

The study team excavated multiple fossils containing F. brocksi, each entombed in goethite, an iron-rich mineral that maintained the fish in extraordinary detail. This rare fossilization process ...

Just a few years after uncovering a trove of exceptionally preserved fossils, paleontologists have now described a brand new fish species that lived and died during the Miocene, 15 million years ago.

Tiny structures and soft tissue features are so well preserved in the fossil, scientists could see what colour the fish was when it was alive. The discovery provides evolutionary clues for the ...

In an exciting first, an Australian team of scientists identified a new species of freshwater fish that swam in nearby waters over 15 million years ago, offering fresh insights into Australia’s ...

Dr. McCurry, the lead author of the paper, said that before this fossil discovery scientists lacked concrete evidence to pinpoint when this group of fish arrived in Australia and how they evolved ...

The fossil of the ancient fish, named Ferruaspis brocksi, was found at McGraths Flat, a fossil site near Gulgong, New South Wales. The name derives from "ferru" (Latin for iron) due to its ...

After an exhaustive exploration in New South Wales, a state in southeastern Australia, the fossil of a fish that inhabited the Earth approximately 15 million years ago has been found. It is a ...

creating amber-like fossils from pine resin in 24 hours. The technique could help reveal the biochemistry of amber as it forms, a process that otherwise would remain hidden in the fog of prehistory.

It was discovered at the McGraths Flat fossil site near Gulgong in NSW. “This discovery opens new avenues for understanding the evolutionary history of Australia’s freshwater fish species and ...
