Grossius aragonensis is an extinct lobe-finned fish from the Devonian period. It lived in freshwater bodies about 385 million years ago in the territory of modern Spain.
Grossius aragonensis is important for science. Its strong fleshy fins show how fish gradually adapted to life on land and gave rise to the first amphibians.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
