380 million year old gives birth (discover magazine Jan 2009)
This article was about a fossil of a fish giving birth. This fish is the worlds oldest evidence of copulation. Unlike most fish today though this little fishy (pook pook)
had an embryo which gives us evidence of fertilization inside the mother. The fish is part of a group called Ptyctodonts. The fish was found in Australia and if I'm correct is part of the Museum Victoria in Melbourne.
