    I just looked it up, and they were rediscovered in 1938, too. I’m absolutely not in my late eighties, so I guess this is just a good example of how weirdly wrong our early memories can be (at least mine are).

      Ok so first of all you were right it was a big deal when Coelacanth was rediscovered. Don’t give up so easy, that person is just saying it was a fish not a dinosaur.
