''Netsepoye hawesi'' is an extinct prehistoric cartilaginous fish, which lived more than 320 million years ago, during the Late Mississippian. It has been discovered at the well known Bear Gulch Formation in Montana, United States, dated at Carboniferous period. This Paleozoic fish is mostly known by teeth, though cephalic region and the rest of the body are partially preserved. Pectoral fins were very broad and the pelvic girdle showed very high dorsal process. ''Netsepoye hawesi'' is closely related to ''Janassa''. The name ''Netsepoye'' comes from a Native American term, meaning "the people that speaks the same language". The word refers to the Blackfoot Confederacy, hinting that the fossil specimen is in Blackfoot territory as well as another petalodontiform ''Siksika ottae''. ==References== *(''Netsepoye hawesi'' ) *() * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Netsepoye」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
