Abstract

“Courtenay-Latimer will forever be remembered because of the prehistoric fish, named Latimeria chalumnae in her honour, which was discovered in 1938. She was the curator of the [East London] Museum back then and recognised the significance of the find by the captain of the trawler Nerine, Hendrik Goosen.”
