Biology:Ceratoichthys
From HandWiki
Ceratoichthys is an extinct genus of lookdown-like prehistoric jackfish that lived during the late Ypresian epoch, of the Early Eocene. It contains a single species, C. pinnatiformis of Monte Bolca, Italy.[1][2] It and Vomeropsis are the only known members of the extinct subfamily Vomeropsinae.[3][4]
The dorsal and anal fins of C. pinnatiformis had very high, narrow crests, and it also had very long, thin pelvic fins. Its fins give it a superficial resemblance to a freshwater angelfish, leading some people[who?] to erroneously refer to C. pinnatiformis as an "angelfish," too.
It is the official symbol of the Società Paleontologica Italiana (Italian Paleontological Society).[5]
