Gogo Fish! Story of the Wa State Fossil Emblem

By John Long About · Illustrated by Jill Ruse

In July 1986, a 375 million-year old fossil fish was found in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The campaign of a Perth primary school helped to make this fish the Western Australian State Fossil Emblem. This is the story of Dr John Long’s discovery of the Gogo Fish, the campaign, and a glimpse into the fascinating world of a Devonian reef.
