"Rise of modern marine fishes captured in an early Paleocene Lagerstätte" in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. ⚒️🧪
"helping to fill a 10 million year interval with sparse fossil information about modern fish evolution. Among the findings include the earliest known fossil skeletons of jack, a type of sportfish, moonfish and pipefish, the family to which seahorses belong."

Fossil discovery fills in missing information about modern fish evolution
After an asteroid slammed into Earth 66 million years ago, there is very little evidence of fish in the fossil record. Now, a research team including University of Michigan graduate student Sanaa El-Sayed has discovered the earliest known examples of six modern fish groups that still swim in Earth's seas today.
