Elonichthys
Taxonomy
Elonichthys was named by Giebel (1848) [Sepkoski's age data: C Tour Sepkoski's reference number: 1066]. It is not extant. Its type is Elonichthys germari. It is the type genus of Elonichthyidae.
It was assigned to Palaeoniscidae by Woodward (1891), Hay (1902), Eastman (1903), Heintz (1934); to Palaeonisciformes by Sepkoski (2002); and to Elonichthyidae by Aldinger (1937), Gardiner (1960), Gardiner (1962), Schindler (2018), Bakaev et al. (2020).
