Giant Prehistoric Fish From Ancient Supercontinent Found Under Road

A giant prehistoric fish from an ancient supercontinent has been discovered underneath a rural road in South Africa.
The fossil was excavated from a roadside near Waterloo Farm in the south of Makhanda. Findings from the discovery have been published in a study in the journal Plos One.
The study revealed the fossil is from the tristichopterid family—an extinct group of huge, lobe-finned fish that lived during the Devonian period, 419 million years ago. Scientists found the majority of the dermal skull, lower jaw, gill cover and shoulder girdle during the excavation. The new species has been named Hyneria udlezinye.
This particular fish would have been at least 8 feet long, the study said. This was the average size for these fish.
