This genus includes at least four species,〔1997 "The species of †Phareodus (Teleostei: Osteoglossidae) from the Eocene of North America and their phylogenetic relationships." ''Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology'' 17(3):487-505〕 ''P. testis'' (Leidy, 1873) and ''P. encaustus'' of North America, ''P. muelleri'' of Europe, and ''P. queenslandicus'' of Australia. Representatives have been found from the middle Eocene to the Oligocene of Australia and North America, including the Green River Formation in Wyoming, United States. ''P. testis'' was a freshwater fish with an oval outline, a small head, and a slightly pointed snout. Its dorsal and anal fins were situated posteriorly, with the anal fin being larger. Its caudal fin was slightly forked. It had small pelvic fins but long, narrow pectoral fins.〔 ==See also== * Prehistoric fish * List of prehistoric bony fish 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「Phareodus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
