Aokiichthys

Wikipedia Abstract

Aokiichthys is an extinct genus of basal osteoglossoid from an Early Cretaceous freshwater palaeolake of what is now Kyushu, Japan. The genus formed a species radiation in the First Formation within the Wakino Subgroup of the Kwanmon Group, as a dominant member and namesake of the Nipponamia-Aokiichthys fauna. The genus became extinct at the end of either the 1st Formation, or possibly during the 2nd Formation, when the palaeolake became shallower.
