Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer was born #OTD (South Africa, 24 February 1907 – 17 May 2004). She is best known for her key role in the 1938 rediscovery of the Coelacanth, a fish with a fossil record going back over 400 million years which was thought to have gone extinct during the K-Pg extinction event of 66 millions years ago.

Below are her original sketch and desciption of the specimen she recovered from a South African fishing boat's catch and did her best to preserve until the ichthyologist she was writing to, J. L. B. Smith (South African, 1897 - 1968) could arrive to identify it. He was indeed able to confirm it was the long-lost Coelacanth, and give the genus the scientific name Latimeria in her honor.
