MSNBC:
Zanzibar fishermen land ancient fish

My question: did they keep it or throw it back?

Part of the story says,

Fishermen in Zanzibar have caught a coelacanth, an ancient fish once thought to have become extinct when it disappeared from fossil records 80 million years ago, an official said on Sunday.

Which leads to my second question: who exactly was keeping the fossil records 80 million years ago?
