LIVING FOSSILS

Diposkan oleh Rosmana A.P. Saturday, July 11, 2009

Sometimes, we find something really strange and unusual in this world. Even, sometimes your mind can't recognize it. This is what may happens if you hear this words, "Living Fossils".

Living Fossils are ordinary organisms. So, living fossils aren't a kind of fossils that resurrect. These organisms called living fossils because these organisms have body structures that may classified as "primitive". But, not all of them are have primitive body structure. Even, some of them are organisms that already exist on the world since million years ago until now.

There're only a few organisms that classified as living fossils that exist now. Almost all of them are in danger due their few populations. One of the organisms that classified as living fossils is Komodo Dragon, an endemic animal that lives in Komodo Island, Indonesia. This animal's body structures show that this animal look like a primitive reptile. Even, it's feet anatomy shows that this animal able to stand uprightly, as same as "Thecodont", the ancestor of dinosaur.

Another organisms that also classified as living fossils is Horse Shoe Crab. This animal is classified as living fossilis because it has exist since ordovician era (around 488 million years ago) until now. This was known from fossils record that shows a horse shoe crab.

Not only animal, there also primitive plants. Almost all of the primitive plants are classified as "psilopside" (ancient fern). only a few of the "psilopside" that still exist. These organisms have show that there're still some living fossils in the world.

There're still many mysteries about some living fossils. This is because there're many organisms that said already extinct million years ago, still exist in the world and survive from two catasthropes that cause dinosaur and giant reptiles before the dinosaur extinct. For example is Horse Shoe Crab and "Coelacanth". These organisms already exist long before dinosaur exist. At the first time, they were said as already extinct (for Coelacanth). Not long after that, fishermen accidentally caught this fish. So, they have survive more than millions years. But, how they survive from two catasthropes that cause almost all organisms extinct?

  34. iya.. gimana organ(is)me kayak gitu bisa bertahan hidup tanpa evolusi ya? padahal keadaan bumi selalu berubah....

    apa mereka hidup di tempat tertentu yang sangat nyaman bagi tubuh dan struktur mereka sehingga mereka tak perlu merubah kondisi tubuh mereka agar hidup lebih fleksibel dan efisien lagi???
