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.
