Description

Habitat

The extended, thin body of this clean water palaeoniscid is redolent of that of the modern crest. Similarly, its dorsal and anal fins were placed well back on the body, near the equal-lobed tail. The regular placing of its fins, together with a great decrease in its bony coat of scales, also made Saurichthys a powerful swimmer
