Ancient lungfish fossils refine early vertebrate story
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Feb 04, 2026 New research from Australian and Chinese scientists is filling key gaps in the evolutionary story of some of the oldest fishes on Earth, including early lungfishes closely related to land vertebrates. In two separate studies, researchers have re-examined fossil material from the Late Devonian Gogo Formation in Western Australia and described a new lungfish species from 410 million-year-old
Researchers in China have identified the first scientifically documented fossils of amphibian tracks from the Middle Jurassic period in both China and Asia, which is an important step forward in the study of ancient vertebrate life in the region, reports Global Times, partner of TV BRICS. The discovery was made in Beijing and dates back approximately 160 million years ago, corresponding to the Yaopo Formation of the Middle Jurassic. The findings…
