On that very sunny Sunday I have visited also the only fish fossil museum in southern hemisphere :) Little town of Canowindra bears a lot of mysteries :) Again and again I discover something new. 360 millions years ago it was a place where air-breathing fish species used to live - Sarcopterygians, the ones which include the ancestors of the first vertebrates (that is frogs for instance). I was shocked by all those informations I found in that museum - the theory of evolution which I have learned ages ago in the primary school is still up-to-date: There was a chaos in the beginning, the earth was without form and void. Small organisms developed out of soup of organic compounds. Swimming in the dark water they were becoming more and more complex and of more and more complicated structure. At the end of this chain reaction man was created (Is science really against the story of genesis?). At the moment we share around 40% of DNA with plants : ) and 99% with monkeys.

"...Unlike the other sarcopterygian fishes found at Canowindra which are all related to Devonian fish found in the Northern Hemisphere, Canowindra grossi belongs to a separate family (Canowindridae) known only from (or edemic to) the Devonian of south-eastern Australia and Antarctica.
Canowindta grossi was described and named by Dr Keith Thomson in 1973 after the town of Canowindra near where it was found, and in honour of Professor Walter Gross, an eminent German palaeoichtyologist and expert on Devonian fossil fishes…”

PS
At the first glimpse Canowindra grossi doesn’t look like something special found by Star Trek team, it looks just like usual pike (szczupak) : )
