Biology:Esocelops
From HandWiki
Esocelops (portmanteau of Esox + Elops) is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine elopid ray-finned fish that lived during the Eocene.[1] It contains a single species, E. cavifrons, known from the Early Eocene of England (London Clay).[2]
It was initially named, but not described, by Agassiz (1845) as Eurygnathus cavifrons, with Eurygnathus later being found to be both preoccupied by a beetle and synonymous with Enchodus. Woodward (1901) officially described it in the genus Esocelops, retaining Agassiz's original species name.[3][4]
