https://www.sci.news/paleontology/mawsoniid-coelacanth-england-11454.html Paper: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02724634.2022.2125813During the #Cretaceous period, #coelacanths are known by two families only, the #Latimeriidae, which survived to the present with the genus #Latimeria, and the #Mawsoniidae, which lived from the #Permian to Cretaceous period. Unlike members of the Latimeriidae family, which are exclusively marine, #mawsoniids were also native to freshwater and brackish environments.
