Earlier today, NASA scientist Thomas Yeobury published a paper describing a new species of fish known as Lunania dotherboydensis that was found on The Moon during the Apollo 11 mission.

It was discovered during the Apollo 11 mission within the Clavius crater and it was taken back to be studied by NASA scientists in 1970. Scientist Lucain Dotherboyd felt that the media would attract too much attention towards the moon fossil, so he lied and told the press that the fossil was discovered in the Baharija Formation in Egypt. During a 1978 interview, Dotherboys is reported to have said that "the new fish species was preyed upon by Spinosaurus" The fossil, which was considered to be a new genus upon discovery, faded into obscurity until today (February 16, 2020), when NASA publicly announced that the fossil came from The Moon. Dotherboyd was ashamed by the press when they found out that the fossil came from The Moon. Dotherboyd publicly announced his hatred towards the fossil and he confessed that he had the fossil destroyed. He was taken into custody but his confession is probably false; he is probably just looking for extra attention from the media.

The fossil, a string of six vertebrae, was recovered from Aptian sediment (the Clavius Formation to be specific). It would have been a small fish of around one meter long. Yeobury, who prepared and described the fossil, hypothesised that an ancestor of the fish may have latched onto a meteor that bounced back into space and eventually landed on the moon. It would have eventually evolved into Lunania. Yeobury suspects that Lunania was a terrestrial fish, but no one knows for sure. Lunania can not be referred to a specific family, as of 2020.
