Diplomystus
''Diplomystus'' is an extinct genus of freshwater non-clupeoid clupeomorph fish distantly related to modern-day extant herrings, alewives, and sardines. The genus was first named and described by Edward Drinker Cope in 1877. There are seven species of ''Diplomystus'': ''D. dentatus'' (Cope, 1877), ''D. birdii'', ''D. dubetreiti'', ''D. shengliensis'' (Chang 1983), ''D. kokuraensis'' (Uyeno 1979), ''D. primotinus'' (Uyeno 1979), and ''D. altiformis''. ''D. dentatus'' (Cope, 1877) is well known from lower Eocene deposits from the Green River Formation in Wyoming. Specimens range from larval size to 65 cm and are commonly found in close association with the extinct herring ''Knightia sp.'' The Green River Formation is the remnant of a large lake whose mud would eventually be transformed into soft calcite-bearing shale. ''D. kokuraensis'' (Uyeno 1979), ''D. primotinus'' (Uyeno 1979), and ''D. altiformis'' were dominant members of an Early Cretaceous lake fauna (the "''Diplomystus''-''Wakinoichthys'' Fauna") in what is now Japan and Korea. ==References==
