What convinced you of Evolution?

In that case, the forum you were looking for is down the hall, 73rd door on the left, down the stairs.
Do you really think that Googling "fish" and "twelve years ago" is going to give me any more inkling of whatever it is you're driving at than I have now?

Coelacanth is pronounced SEE-low-canth, approximately. Two species of them are known, one from near Madagascar and one near Indonesia. Kind of interesting fish, in a very slow, laid-back, fatty sort of way.[This message has been edited by Coragyps, 12-08-2003]

Search "coelacanth" using the small, underlined "search" feature clear at the top of the page.One of the biggest differences between the modern and fossil coelacanths is that the modern ones are deep-sea, cold-water critters, and the ancient ones we know of were shallow water sorts, some (most??) of the freshwater, not seawater species. Deep-ocean fish, even if they do fossilize, are pretty unlikely to be found as fossils, as there isn't much deep-sea sediment around on surface to dig in.
