Water levels on earth have changed a lot over time. If you imagine 150 million years ago most of the UK (where i live) was under 100's of metres of sea water!!
If a fish died then, was buried and fossilised, then the sea levels dropped, he will still remain buried where he was and so could be on land today.
Also land can rise, (like when mountains form from 2 pieces of land pushing against each other and squeezing the middle up) so the buried fish can be pushed up with this rising land.
What else can I help you with?
Have growth rings been found on fossilized fish scales?
Yes, growth rings have been found on fossilized fish scales. These rings, similar to tree rings, can provide information about the age and growth rate of the fish during its lifetime. Studying these growth rings can help researchers understand the fish's environment and lifecycle.
What are 3 different things that are able to be fossilized?
Feathers, animal footprints, insects trapped in amber, small fish, and small plants are some that can be fossilized.
Found in protruding eyes at the top of their heads what mammals pupils are t shaped so they can see equally well above and below water?
This unique eye structure with T-shaped pupils is found in the four-eyed fish (Anableps). These fish have adapted to live near the water's surface, allowing them to simultaneously see above and below the waterline to detect predators and prey.
What can organism is most likely to become fossilized?
A bony fish that is buried rapidly in ocean sediment
Where hastate plate is found?
Hastate plates are found in fish, specifically in the skeletal structure of bony fish, where they form part of the gill arches. These plates provide support to the gills and assist in respiratory function in fish by helping to filter oxygen from the water.
Have growth rings been found on fossilized fish scales?
Yes, growth rings have been found on fossilized fish scales. These rings, similar to tree rings, can provide information about the age and growth rate of the fish during its lifetime. Studying these growth rings can help researchers understand the fish's environment and lifecycle.

What kind of fish lives by the delta fresh water fish or salt water fish?
Both kinds of fish can live in a delta area. The line between salt water fish and fresh water fish seems to be getting blurrier. Sharks and other typically salt water fish are found many miles up stream in rivers that empty into the ocean. It appears that salt water fish adapt better than fresh water fish as the fish found in fresh water are not found out at sea.
Where would you put a fishing lane on deep or shallow water?
It depends on the type of fish. Some fish are primarily found in shallow water, and some fish are found primarily in deep water, while others are found in both.
What are 3 different things that are able to be fossilized?
Feathers, animal footprints, insects trapped in amber, small fish, and small plants are some that can be fossilized.
Why do fish do not breath above the water?
fish do not have lung like us. Their gills are designed to extract oxygen from water, and not from air.
What aquarium fish can breathe above water?
Some plecostamus can breathe above water, but I would not suggest keeping one one of water.
Name of fish which have lungs only?
fish are fish. if they could breathe above water they would be a mammal. no fish have lungs only.
