In the Gogo Formation in Western Australia, paleontologists have found fossils of an arthrodire, an ancient armored fish. Scientists were able to see the insides: intestines, liver and heart. It became the oldest ever found on Earth - it is 380 million years old. Paleontologists using synchrotron X-rays built a three-dimensional model of a fish found in a limestone block.
