Post Cretaceous Coelacanth fossils
Post KPG Coelacanths are claimed Coelacanth fossils to have come from after the Mesozoic time, many sources do not mention these remains.[1][2][3] Post KPG Coelacanth fossils have been claimed to have come from Northern European rock deposits dating the Paleocene, and remains from the Levant areas claimed to date to the Miocene. The last confirmed celocanth remains are dated to the late cretaceous up until such finds were found.[4][5][6]
Validity
In terms of validity, the only one that is plausible is the one from the European Paleocene, however it has problems mainly the fact that it has been evluvated based on comparative bone histology methods of doubtful reliability. The Goldsmith Isreali celocanths, we never tested [7], the one from Palestinian territories were witten by a creationist and they had no drawn out pictures.[8][9][10]
