Biology:Callipurbeckia

From HandWiki

Callipurbeckia is an extinct genus of marine semionotiform ray-finned fish from the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous periods. Fossils have been found in Germany, Tanzania, and England.[1]

It contains three species, which were previously classified in the related lepisosteiform genus Lepidotes.[1][2]

Potential relatives of Callipurbeckia include Occitanichthys from the Tithonian of France (formerly confused with C. minor) and Tlayuamichin from the Albian of Mexico.[3][4]

Its name comes from "calli-", from an Ancient Greek word meaning beautiful, and "Purbeck", from the modern-day name of the area where a specimen of it was found.[1]
