Boy finds 90m yo fossil of 'lizard fish'

While taking a tour of the Monastery of La Candelaria, situated near the town of Ráquira Boyacá, Colombia, a young boy noticed a fish shape embedded in the flagstones on which he was walking. He took a photo, and later showed it to staff of the local museum, Centro de Investigaciones Paleontologicas. The fossil is an incredibly rare find ... Candelarhynchus padillai—a 90-million-year-old species of fish with no modern relatives.
