These ancient sea creatures will have swam across huge lakes once common across the Sahara region.
That's because the Sahara isn't always a desert – and regularly reverts to lush grassland over the millennia.
Fish are a rare sight in today's Sahara, but would have once been common.
A new study uncovered 17,551 animal remains at the Takarkori rock shelter in southwestern Libya.
And of these, fish made up a staggering 80% of the finds.
A further 19% were mammals, while the remaining 1.3% were birds, reptiles, molluscs and amphibians....
