aspect, negative-positive fossil.
Hatchetfish
Period: Oligocene
Age: 37 - 23 million years
Region: Czech Republic
Like several other deep sea fish these small, bright, silver fish resembling hatchets in
appearance have light producing organs beneath their stomachs. These fish have up to
100 light organs capable of emitting light beneath their bodies. The hatchet fish, which
has lived in the seas for millions of years with this perfect creation, never developed out
of any other life form and has never turned into another one. The 37-to-23-million-ye-
ar-old hatchet fish from the Oligocene period in the picture was found in the Czech
Republic and is identical to specimens living today.
