I was surfing through YT and found this piece. Scientists at the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, India, just unearthed fish fossils in the Moand area near Dehradun (in the Himalayan foothills) dating back nearly 4.5 million years. They successfully identified these ancient freshwater gouramis using fossilized ear stones known as otoliths. According to the researchers, this is the very first freshwater gourami fossil record discovered in India.
