Mansoura Univ Finds 500 Fish Fossils
A research team led by the University of Mansoura's Paleontology Center announced the discovery of over 500 fish fossils that lived approximately 62 million years ago in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. These fossils belong to 19 different families and six species that had no prior fossil record. The study revealed that this period experienced significant geographic and environmental changes, as Egypt and the surrounding region were once part of the ancient Mediterranean Sea, with rising water levels and a rich diversity of ecosystems following the extinction of the dinosaurs. These discoveries contributed to updating the information on Wikipedia about marine life during that era and confirm that modern marine ecological systems began to emerge within four million years after the mass extinction event.
