Mandageria
''Mandageria'' (Pronunciation: Man-daj-ee-ree-a fair-fax-i) is an extinct genus of lobe-finned fish.〔(Age of Fishes Museum, Canowindra )〕 ''Mandageria'' lived in the Late Devonian period (Frasnian – Famennian). It is in related group with ''Hyneria'', however, ''Mandageria'' was smaller, but probably it hunted in the same way. ''Mandageria'' has been named after the philanthropist James Fairfax, and the Mandagery Sandstone formation near Canowindra, Australia in which the fossils were found. ''Mandageria fairfaxi'' is the state fossil emblem for New South Wales. ==Description== ''Mandageria'' was a large predator about long. It had a long torpedo-shaped body and large tail fins. ''Mandageria'' also had large pectoral fins which had helped it manoeuvre around submerged logs when preparing to attack its prey.〔 ''Mandageria'' had a functional neck joint, an otherwise uncommon feature among fish - ''Tiktaalik'', ''Tarrasius'', placoderms (esp. Arthrodira) and seahorses being other exceptions.
