Biology:Aulolepis

From HandWiki

Aulolepis (from Greek: ανλος aulos, 'pipe' and Greek: λεπίς lepis 'scale')[1] is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived from the middle Cenomanian to the late Turonian. It contains a single species, A. typus from the Chalk Group of the United Kingdom and the Hesseltal Formation of Germany.[2][3][4]

It is generally classified as a member of the Ctenothrissiformes, a group of basal mid-Cretaceous acanthomorphs.[5][6] However, one as-of-yet unpublished study has found it to be an aulopiform instead.[7]
