Diversity of chondrostean fish Coccolepis from the Late Jurassic Solnhofen Archipelago, Southern Germany [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2021 Late Jurassic marine vertebrates are extraordinarily well preserved in several Plattenkalk Lagerstätten in central Europe. Among them, the Solnhofen Archipelago has yielded the very rare fish Coccolepis bucklandi, which was the first fossil ...

Unappreciated Cenozoic ecomorphological diversification of stem gars revealed by a new large species [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 The evolutionary history of gars, an ancient group of ray-finned fishes, is excellently documented in the fossil record. These fishes are notable for how little the anatomy of extant species differs from that of their earliest known relatives from ...

A new specimen of Birgeria liui (Osteichthyes, Actinopterygii) from the Longobardian (Ladinian, Middle Triassic) of Xingyi, Guizhou Province, South China [PDF]
Research & Knowledge, 2017 Birgeria was one of the largest carnivorous ishes from the Triassic, spanning almost the entire period and, with an almost cosmopolitan distribution. Birgeria liui was originally described based on the incomplete holotype from the Middle Triassic marine ...

A Hiatus Obscures the Early Evolution of Modern Lineages of Bony Fishes
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 About half of all vertebrate species today are ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii), and nearly all of them belong to the Neopterygii (modern ray-fins). The oldest unequivocal neopterygian fossils are known from the Early Triassic.

Feeding convergence among ray-finned fishes: Teeth of the herbivorous actinopterygians from the latest Permian of East European Platform, Russia [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 unique functional adaptation to herbivory within early ray-finned fishes is exemplified by the late Permian actinopterygians within the family Eurynotoidiidae with policuspid teeth strongly modified with respect to the primitive actinopterygian ...
