Benedenius Explained
Bendenius is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish. It is known from the Early Carboniferous of Belgium.[1] [2] It was named after Belgian paleontologist Pierre-Joseph van Beneden.
It contains two species:
- B. deneensis (van Beneden, 1871)
- B. soreili Fraipont, 1890
Formerly classified as a "paleonisciform", more recent studies suggest that it belongs to an early order of deep-bodied actinopterygians known as the Eurynotiformes. It is generally classified within the Styracopteridae, though at least one recent study treats it as a member of the Amphicentridae.[3] [4] [5] [6]
