![]() EONS C03 NEW SPECIES OF SORBINICHTHYS -- ONLY ONE KNOWN This specimen is a member of the Ellimmichthyiformes order, a group of fossil fishes commonly named “double armored herrings”. Phylogenetic studies of the Early Cretaceous-Eocene primitive Clupeomorph group, including the Ellimmichthyiformes, have not included all nominal species. This prevents the recognition of any pattern in their paleogeographic distribution, which has been considered to be a paleontological puzzle. Until the discovery of this specimen, the genus Sorbinichthys within the Ellimmichthyiformes was previously known only from Nammoura, Lebanon. So our specimen represents both an undescribed new species of Sorbinichthys and a new locality for the genus whose study can add greatly to the current body of knowledge.
ORDER: Clupeiformes (ray-finned fish) Excavated and prepared by a paleontologist based in Italy who also identified the genus. A paper titled “A review of the interrelationships of the order Ellimmichthyiformes (Teleostei: Clupeomorpha)” can be acquired here.
