Ancient Egyptian find uncovers Earth's post-dinosaur revival
A Egyptian and international research team led by Dr. Hisham Salem succeeded in documenting a fossil site dating back 62.2 million years in the Eastern Egyptian Desert. The site reveals how marine life recovered after the dinosaurs' extinction, less than 4 million years before the great end of the Cretaceous period. The site has yielded hundreds of fish fossils, including more than 20 new species, all related to the lineage of bony fish ancestors. This demonstrates that modern marine fish appeared and evolved more rapidly than previously believed, in a tropical marine environment that marked the beginning of their spread throughout the world's oceans.
