Biology:Benedenius

From HandWiki

Benedenius is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish. It is known from the Early Carboniferous of Belgium.[1][2] It was named after Belgian paleontologist Pierre-Joseph van Beneden.

It contains two species:[1]

  • B. deneensis (van Beneden, 1871)
  • B. soreili Fraipont, 1890

Formerly classified as a "paleonisciform", more recent studies suggest that it belongs to an early order of deep-bodied actinopterygians known as the Eurynotiformes. It is generally classified within the Styracopteridae, though at least one recent study treats it as a member of the Amphicentridae.[3][4][5][6]
