Fuyuanichthys wangigen. et sp. nov. from the Middle Triassic (Ladinian) of China highlights the early diversification of ginglymodian fishes

Abstract: A series of well-preserved fossil assemblages from the Middle Triassic marine rock succession in Southwest China provide unique evidences for studying the early evolution of holostean fishes, including Halecomorphi (e.g., bownfin) and Ginglymodi (e.g., gars). Ginglymodi have the earliest record in the early Middle Triassic (Anisian, ∼244 Ma) of China, represented by Kyphosichthys and Sangiorgioichthys sui from Yunnan and S. yangjuanensis from Guizhou. Here, we report the discovery of a new ginglymodian, Fuyuan… Show more

“…Patterson (1973) first proposed the double jaw joint (involving both symplectic and quadrate) as a halecomorph synapomorphy, and his hypothesis is widely accepted by many authors (Gardiner, Maisey & Littlewood, 1996; Grande & Bemis, 1998; Alvarado-Ortega & Espinosa-Arrubarrena, 2008; Lane & Ebert, 2012; Brito & Alvarado-Ortega, 2013; Xu, Zhao & Coates, 2014; Xu, Ma & Ren, 2018a; López-Arbarello, Stockar & Bürgin, 2014; Xu & Shen, 2015; Taverne, 2015; Ma & Xu, 2017). Olsen (1984) noticed Nielsen’s (1942, 1949) descriptions of the symplectic articulating with the lower jaw in non-neopterygian Birgeria , Boreosomus and Pteronisculus , and challenged Patterson’s (1973) hypothesis in suggesting that the double jaw joint is plesiomorphic for halecomorphs.…”

“…The phylogenetic framework for the discussions provided in the present paper is based on the results of a cladistic analysis of neopteryigan phylogeny including 224 morphological characters and 60 extant and fossil terminal taxa. The characters were mainly adopted or modified from previous analyses of neopterygian phylogeny (Gardiner & Schaeffer, 1989; Olsen & McCune, 1991; Gardiner, Maisey & Littlewood, 1996; Grande & Bemis, 1998; Coates, 1999; Arratia, 1999, 2013; Cavin & Suteethorn, 2006; Alvarado-Ortega & Espinosa-Arrubarrena, 2008; Cavin, 2010; Grande, 2010; Xu & Gao, 2011; Xu et al, 2012, 2019; Xu, Zhao & Coates, 2014; Xu, Gao & Coates, 2015; Xu, Ma & Ren, 2018a; Xu, Ma & Zhao, 2018b; Xu & Ma, 2016; Xu & Zhao, 2016; López-Arbarello, 2012; Brito & Alvarado-Ortega, 2013; Cavin, Deesri & Suteethorn, 2013; Deesri et al, 2014; Deesri, Jintasakul & Cavin, 2016; Giles et al, 2017; Ebert, 2018; López-Arbarello & Sferco, 2018). All characters were unordered and equally weighted.…”
