Ctenothrissa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ctenothrissa
Temporal range: Late Cretaceous
Fossil of Ctenothrissa vexillifer (Pictet, 1850) from Lebanon
Scientific classification
Kingdom:
Animalia
Phylum:
Chordata
Class:
Actinopterygii
Subclass:
Neopterygii
Infraclass:
Teleostei
Order:
Ctenothrissiformes (disputed)
Genus:
Ctenothrissa Woodward, 1899

Ctenothrissa is a prehistoric genus of ray-finned fish in the supposed order "Ctenothrissiformes".

Taxonomy

These Teleostei are only known from fossils. While they are sometimes included in the superorder Acanthopterygii or Protacanthopterygii, this is neither well-supported, nor is the monophyly of the "Ctenothrissiformes" robustly established. Indeed, it is quite likely that the supposed order is a paraphyletic assemblage of ancient moderately advanced Teleostei.[1]
