Summary

Description

Allenypterus montanus Melton, 1969 fossil fish from the Mississippian of Montana, USA (public display, FMNH PF 10939, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois, USA).

This Allenypterus montanus fossil coelacanth fish is from estuarine deposits of the Late Mississippian-aged Bear Gulch Lagerstätte at Potter Creek Dome, Montana. Coelacanths are one of three groups of lobe-finned fish (sarcopterygian bony fish). They are known as fossils in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic, but not in the Cenozoic. Despite that, coelacanths are still alive in modern oceans.

Classification: Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrata, Sarcopterygii, Actinistia, Coelacanthiformes, Hadronectoridae
