Hong Kong’s Living Fossils
Launched on
Endangered Species Day 2018
Special Exhibition
from May 19 until December 20, 2018
This exhibition presents three “Living Fossils” which are living largely unnoticed in the coastal environments of Hong Kong. These are the horseshoe crabs, the small eel-like Amphioxus also known as Lancelet and the primitive brachiopod Lingula, organisms that have remained largely unchanged in their structure and function since their ancestors were fossilized ca. 475 million years ago.
