Lungfish are a living fossil with some pretty amazing capabilities.

One of the Australian Opal Centre's most avid contributors, Vicki, shows us some opalised fossils of lungfish tooth plates, as well as some opalised fossils of some of the creatures that prehistoric lungfish used to eat over a hundred million years ago.

Also, I get very excited about why lungfish are incredible creatures, both now and eons ago!
