Chinese-Australian researchers discover fossils of 400 million year old fish

Beijing/Canberra, May 10 (UNI) A team of Chinese and Australian researchers has for the first time discovered fossils of Palaeospondylus, a small, eel-like fish that lived millions of years ago.
The fossils were found in an area located outside Scotland, according to the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Dating the fossils to approximately 400 million years ago, the research team has pushed the chronological record of this species back by about 10 million years.
Using CT scanning and 3D reconstruction, the team fully restored the neurocranial structures of Palaeospondylus, providing critical evidence for unraveling its evolutionary position. Palaeospondylus was a small, enigmatic early vertebrate.
