Description

More of my photos of museum paleo exhibits can be seen in my DA "Paleo & Sci Illo" gallery:

This is a detail from an exhibit of Carboniferous sea life of the Bear Gulch Formation at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. This diorama depicts Caridosuctor populosum an ancient coelacanth, a relative if the "living fossil" Latimeria.

The seas were dominated by exotic shark relatives at this time.

Is it known if any other Coelocanths besides Latimeria had semi-fleshy opercular flaps?
