Ecrinesomus dixoni or Bobasatrania mahavavica???
Lower Triassic
Ambilobe
Madagascar
Two very similar looking fish can be found in the Triassic of Madagascar: Ecrinesomus dixoni and Bobasatrania mahavavica. So far I could not find a reasonable way how to distinguish these two species. I've found a couple of pictures, for example this reconstruction by Stensioe
and another picture which claims to be an Ecrinesomus
Even seems to be the same reconstruction - so what is it really?
I just got a new fish which looks different: The body doesn't seem to be so rectangular - the outline is more ovoid compared to this one
