This fish fossil is around 15 million years old and was found with its stomach contents preserved 🤯. A team of Australian scientists, led by Dr Matthew McCurry from the AM and the UNSW, have described this new species of fish fossil as Ferruaspis brocksi. It is named after Professor Jochen J. Brocks from The Australian National University, who discovered several of the fossilised species at the McGraths Flat fossil site near Gulgong, NSW. Ferruaspis brocksi is the first fossil freshwater smelt

Title: 15 Million-Year-Old Fish Found with Last Meal in Stomach --- Amazing Discovery in Australia In New South Wales, Australia, scientists found a fish fossil that is 15 million years old. The most surprising thing is that the fish’s last meal is still in its stomach. The fossil also shows marks from tiny parasites. This gives us a special look at life from 11-15 million years ago, during the Miocene period. --- Finding Old Parasites Dr. Matthew McCurry from the Australian Museum and UNSW Sydn

I found this rare fossil after a period of rough seas. It’s been rolling around for a long time, which is why it’s so worn — but that wear tells an incredible story. This is a rolled section of an ichthyosaur jaw, containing teeth from a Jurassic marine reptile. Because of the heavy wear, the best way to display it was to polish it to a high finish, revealing the internal structure of the teeth. A very cool and unusual fossil.
