With Limb-Like Protuberances Culminating In Fins The Strange Fish Was Unlike Anything She Had Ever Seen. The Museum Board Members Dismissed It As A Common Lungfish, But When Marjorie Eventually Contacted Professor Jlb Smith, He Immediately Identified Her Fish As A Coelacanth - A Species Known To Have Lived 400 Million Years Ago, And Believed By Many Scientists To Be The Evolutionary Missing Link - The First Creature To Crawl Out Of The Sea. Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer Had Thus Made The CenturyS Greatest Zoological Discovery. But Smith Needed A Live Or Frozen Specimen To Verify The Discovery, So Began His Search For Another Coelacanth, To Which He Devoted His Life.
