The incredible quality of conservation of two complete and 3D preserved specimens from the Middle Triassic Muschelkalk of Lorraine, Eastern France, combined with the latest X-ray technologies, has allowed a complete description of an extinct coelacanth with an unprecedented level of detail, comparable to the work carried out on the skeleton of extant species. Most skeletal elements were deeply embedded in the rock matrix and perfectly preserved, only the external surface of some bones had been slightly damaged during mechanical preparation.
