Many of the oldest #fossils from the countries of the #Zambezi Basin come from #Namibia 🇳🇦, so we're returning there this week to meet the #Carboniferous #fish Namaichthys schroederi. It was an early member of a group with a bright future: the #Actinopterygii, or ray-finned #fishes, which, since Namaichthys swam the #Namibian seas 300 million years, has #evolved into by far the most diverse group of #vertebrates.

La dernière fiche parue ce jour concerne un poisson de #Méditerranée, un #gobie, avec les seules photos connues de l'animal in situ !
C'est le gobie crécerelle.
