Dorsetichthys is an extinct genus of marine stem-teleost ray-finned fish from the Early Jurassic period of Europe. It contains a single species, D. bechei, known from the Sinemurian-aged Lower Lias of England.[1]
Description
[edit ]Dorsetichthys was an elongated teleost that could reach up to 20 centimetres (7.9 in) long.[2] [3] This fish had ganoid scales close to modern gars.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit ]The type species of Dorsetichthys, D. bechei, was formerly assigned to Pholidophorus , but Arratia (2013) recognized it as generically distinct from the Pholidophorus type species, placing it in the new family Dorsetichthyidae and new order Dorsetichthyiformes.[2]
