Protopsephurus liui (full body)


Bone guy

This is Protopsephurus liui, a 6 inch paddlefish from the Yixian Formation of China. This fish is significant because it's the first paddlefish to appear in the fossil record, appearing in the Early Cretaceous (the name Protopsephurus means "first pebble bearer"). It should also be said the Yixian Formation yields fossils from the iconic tyrannosaur Yutyrannus.
