More living fossil evidence

I heard about this living fossil in the 1960's. Then more were found . Now more interesting fossil evidence.

* Ancestor of the "living fossil" sheds new light:
Zoologists called it the find of the century in
1938: a fish thought to have been extinct since
dinosaurs roamed. A new discovery may help complete
the story.

Students will
(E.O.A.S.1) Understand how fossils are created
(E.O.A.S.2 ) Analyze article and state at least one reason why the article is important
(E.O.A.S.3) What structures with the fish make it important?
