Many parts of our human anatomy originated back in the Early Palaeozoic (540-350 million years ago). This was when jaws, teeth, paired limbs, ossified brain-cases, intromittent genital organs, chambered hearts and paired lungs all appeared in early fishes. For the past 30 years I have been collecting from the Gogo sites in northern Western Australia, whose perfectly preserved 3-D fish fossils have yielded many significant discoveries, including mineralised soft tissues and the origins of complex sexual reproduction in vertebrates.

Current research projects include investigating the diversity and palaeoecology of the Devonian Gogo reef faunal assemablage (DP 221008258); and describing the highly derived fish Elpistostege (with Prof R. Cloutier, University of Quebec at Rimouski),and investigating early tetrapod trackways from Ireland and Australia (with Prof. Per Ahlberg, Uppsala University). A recent focus on the Mansfield area, Victoria, is yeilding some significant new Devonian and Carboniferous fish fossils currently under study. I completed my 4th field season i

What sets Long aside from simply creating a
