At just 26 years old, the prince was already a committed ichthyologist and would later produce research on goby fish. During […]

In an extraordinary paleontological discovery, the second-ever crinoid fossil featuring tube feet has been found, establishing a new age benchmark at around 452 million years. Until now, only a single such fossil was documented, hailing from the Lower Devonian of Germany. This recent finding includes two specimens of Dendrocrinus simcoensis sourced from a quarry close […]
