History
The reef, which now stands up abruptly in the western Australian desert (as the Windjana Limestone), was first identified in 1940 by paleontologist Curt Teichert, who discovered the first fossil fish from the region. It has been described for the layman by the driving force behind collecting expeditions at the Gogo Reef for the last two decades, John Long, of Museum Victoria in Melbourne, in Swimming in Stone: the Amazing Gogo Fossils of the Kimberley (Fremantle: Fremantle Arts Centre) 2007.
