Tongue Bite Fossil Rewrites Fish Evolution: 310-Million-Year-Old Discovery
A fossil discovery from roughly 310 million years ago is reshaping how scientists understand the evolution of feeding in ray-finned fish. The fossilized remains of Platysomus, an early Pennsylvanian fish, show the first clear evidence of a tongue-like biting structure that used gill bones to crush and grind prey. This tiny but pivotal innovation demonstrates…
