A team of palaeontologists, including three from ANU have
uncovered the oldest fossilised vertebrate muscles ever discovered.
The team have mapped the musculature of an ancient fossil
fish approximately 380 million years old, discovered in the Gogo Formation in
the Kimberley of Western Australia.
“Gogo fossil fish are famous for their exceptional
preservation,” explains Dr Gavin Young of the ANU Research School of Earth
Sciences.
