Biology:Ganorhynchus
Ganorhynchus is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine lungfish from the Devonian period.[1][2] It is likely paraphyletic.[3]
The type species is †Ganorhynchus woodwardi Traquair, 1873, identified from a partial snout of uncertain age and provenance in the collections of the British Museum, and named after paleoichthyologist Arthur Smith Woodward.[4][5] A second apparent species, G. splendens Gross, 1937 is known from the early Givetian of Germany[6], but is likely not closely related to G. woodwardi, with G. splendens being more basal.[3] Another species from Australia, initially described in this genus, was later moved to its own genus, Dipnorhynchus.[7] Another apparent species, G. beecheri Newberry, 1889 from the Catskill Formation of Pennsylvania, US[5] is known from very fragmentary remains, and may not even be a lungfish.[8]
