Coelicanth
I can understand your joy in this. I read several years ago the book Coelicanth (sp?) about the finding of a genuine Coelicanth, a fish thought to be extinct since prehistoric times. The book was fascinating. I don't wish to own the remains of one, since they are too precious to be shut up in a private collection. I do wish that I had a copy of the book. Hmmm....Ebay and BestBuyBooks here I come! I am sorry about the spelling of the name...it's been awhile and the hour is late. If anyone is interested , please feel free to PM me!

I have permission to return with a shovel whenever I like, and this gives me much joy.
