The coelacanth fish has truly made the comeback of the epoch. With the earliest fossils of a coelacanth dating back more than 400 million years ago, these ancient fish were thought to have gone extinct during the late Cretaceous period, around 66 million years ago. That is until, in 1938, scientists discovered that the coelacanth had survived in seclusion the entire time.
