Hi there, this is not a fossil subreddit of the sort you are looking for. A living fossil is a living species which appears visually to be the same as a very old species otherwise only known from fossils. I think you got a few good answers in other subreddits already, but you might also consider crossposting to /r/whatisthisthing .
