They probably went undetected for so long since they had adapted to live in the deep sea, which is a poorly represented environment in the fossil record. It's a similar situation to the gap between Cretaceous and modern coelacanths. Art by .

Compared to living coelacanths was tiny, just 7 cm long, and reminds us that coelacanths were morphologically much more diverse in the past and were experimenting with an eel lifestyle long before true eels evolved hundreds of million years later.

OK, all you exceptional eels & elvers, it's time for the revEEL. This week's featured creature is a sneaky imposter or what I like to call a coEELacanth. Meet an eel-like coelacanth that lived in the mid-Devonian ~385 million years ago.

Edge is angry because she's a Coelacanth, no a Lionfish (which would have been more suitable because her ''real form'' is a porcupine, but alas... sorry, girl). https://t.co/Bkp17RY19a

I'm not yet completly late for Here's the West Indian Ocean coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae), one of the two living species of coelacanths. They are more closely related to lungfish and tetrapods than to ray-finned fish
