A fossil discovered on an Australian chicken farm three decades ago has finally been identified as an entirely new species!
After all this time palaeontologists say the fossil is of a new type of Triassic amphibian that stalked the freshwater streams of the Sydney basin 240 million years ago.
Professor Lachlan Hart, now a UNSW pHd student first saw the fossil as a 12 year old at an exhibition - he's now part of the team that's finally identified the new species. He speaks to Jesse.
