Diplocercides
Diplocercides is a genus of prehistoric lobe-finned fish belonging to the coelacanth group (Actinistia or Coelacanthimorpha) which lived during the Late Devonian period (between 370 and 397 million years BCE). Fossils of Diplocercides have been found in Germany, Iran, Ireland, Australia and Poland (and possibly in South Africa in 1937). Recently three-dimensional fossils of Diplocercides were uncovered from the Gogo Formation of Western Australia[1]

gollark: Pyrobot's algorithms and coding™ cannot take drugs.
gollark: For instance, you'll have to map out what all the nerve I/O does, without the benefit of being able to test things very fast on a computer. And you need a good understanding of random bodily processes to keep the nervous system extant.
gollark: Many of the same challenges apply to both, actually.
gollark: You'll probably die because of some weirdly specific process not working because you're missing the organs.
gollark: This is nontrivial. You would need to keep it supplied with 190278149 random nutrients and such, and also work out how to interface with it.
