Aidachar

Aidachar is an extinct genus of freshwater ichthyodectiform ray-finned fish from the Late Cretaceous of Central Asia and North Africa.
The type species is A. paludalis, named by Lev Alexandrovitch Nesov in 1981 from remains discovered in the Bissekty Formation, in what is now the Kyzyl Kum desert of Uzbekistan. At first, he tentatively described the fossil material as the jaw fragments of a ctenochasmatid pterosaur, but reinterpreted Aidachar as a fish in 1986. The second species, A. pankowskii, is described from Kem [Kem Group] of Morocco and reclassified from the genus Cladocyclus, to which it is thought to be closely related.
