While they are fishing, Dan comes up with an idea to use fishing hooks to create a geologic time line. He explains to his friends the different periods of time when different creatures lived on Earth. As they fish, Dan catches a fish, but instead of a fish, he catches an ancient coelacanth, a prehistoric fish that hasn't been seen for millions of years.
Excited by his discovery, Dan thinks it could lead him to other similar prehistoric creatures.

The team finally returns safely from their adventure to document their findings and marvel at the fascinating history of the Earth. Dan's friends are impressed by everything they've learned.
