'''Living fossil''' is a term used by [[Theory of evolution|evolutionist]] scientists to describe plants and animals which were either considered [[extinct]] until living examples are found or which, though never considered extinct, are now the sole or rare examples of species known more abundantly from fossils. The [[coelacanth]] is considered to be an example of living fossil by evolutionists.

The [[coelacanth]] was once considered to be an example of living fossil by evolutionists. It is important to note that such "living fossils" are not the same as their ancient relatives. The name "Coelacanth," for instance, refers to a bigger group of fish than just the one living coelacanth, ''Latimeria,'' does not occur in the fossil record.
