Gardinerichthys


Gardinerichthys is an extinct genus of freshwater actinopterygian bony fish from the Cisuralian epoch of Germany, and the middle Permian of India. The type species, G. latus, was discovered in Asselian aged layers. The genus is named after British palaeontologist and zoologist Brian G. Gardiner, with the second part of the name meaning 'fish' in .
The type specimen was originally thought to belong to the type species of Amblypterus, A. latus, but a reconstruction by Gardiner in 1963 determined it to be a different fish from Amblypterus. It was described as a new genus in 1976.
