Workers building the Lyulin highway near Bulgaria's capital Sofia excavated a unique find Wednesday – a fish fossil whose age is estimated at 200 million years.
The two workers have taken a picture with the find, like real proud fishermen, and then called the museum in the western city of Pernik, the TV channel bTV reports.
Experts from the museum have already done conservation and restoration works.
Archeologist, Filip Mihaylov, said the find shows the existence of a large water body in the area 200 million years ago, which dried out, turned into mire and later into the current clay shale.
The hypothesis is to be proven by paleontologists from the Sofia University and the Museum of Natural Sciences, who will travel to Pernik by the end of the week.
The construction works are continuing and experts say more precious finds can be uncovered.
