Discovery Of Koharalepis Jarviki: ancient fish skull yields 3D braincase; illuminates shift to land

Antarctic fish fossils are shedding light on early animal evolution, specifically the transition to land. A remarkably preserved skull of *Koharalepis jarviki*, from the Devonian period, reveals adaptations for shallow water life, including advanced senses and early air-breathing capabilities. This discovery offers crucial insights into the era preceding terrestrial animal colonization.
