Genres: occult
Character(s): Professor J. L. B. Smith (Ichthyologist)
Synopsis: In December of 1938, a South African fisherman hauls in a weird specimen that was given to a local museum, who, in turn, contacted a Professor Smith, who identified the species as an coelacanth...a fish supposedly extinct for 75 million years! Several other examples were uncovered (in 1839) or caught (in 1953). Scientists believe that the fish, or its close relatives, was the first animal to leave the primeval sea and live on land...some believe it became the ancestor of the mammal family, and eventually man himself.
