First pachycormiform (Actinopterygii, Pachycormiformes) remains from the Late Jurassic of the Antarctic Peninsula and remarks on bone alteration by recent bioeroders
We describe osteichthyan remains from the Upper Jurassic of the Ameghino (= Nordenskjöld) Formation of the Antarctic Peninsula. The fossils are referred to a suspension-feeding pachycormid based on the shape, morphology, and presence of acus fanunculi (needle teeth) on their gill rakers. Due to the...
