Cladocyclus is a genus of ichthyodectiform fish that best known from fossils found in shallow marine Cretaceous deposits Brazil and Morocco.Herein, new species described on the basis fossil comprises an articulated skull anterior part body, preserved as counter-part what was originally single eroded nodule fluvially-deposited volcanolithic sandstone Lower (upper Albian) portion Winton Formation near Isisford, central-western Queensland, Australia.This specimen represents first record eastern...
Dugaldia emmilta is a teleostean fish found in the late Albian Toolebuc Formation Queensland, Australia. In original description, D. was attributed to Neoteleostei because of presence tripartite occipital condyle, and species postulated have basal position among neoteleosteans several plesiomorphic characters. A reexamination holotype, together with description two new specimens, indicates that an ichthyodectiform fish. phylogenetic analysis resolves this as sister Ogunichthys +...
Lungfish tooth plates have been known from Cretaceous deposits at Lightning Ridge and nearby opal fields since 1914. These specimens are reasonably complete, assigned to a common Mesozoic genus, Metaceratodus wollastoni. Later, several small fragments of lungfish collected in 1981 were described as indistinguishable the living Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri. However, new dental material has collected, consisting with attached bone both jaws, this prompted revision original...
