Ligulalepis
Ligulalepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish. Ligulalepis was first described from isolated scales found in the Taemas-Wee jasper limestones of New South Wales by Dr Hans-Peter Schultze and further material described by Burrow. A nearly complete skull found in the same general location was described in Nature by Basden et al. claiming the genus was closely related to basal ray-finned fishes. In 2015 Flinders University student Benedict King found a more complete new skull of this genus which was formally described by Clement et al., showing the fish to be on the stem of all osteichthyans.
