Thorectichthys rhadinus Murray & Wilson, 2013
Upper Cretaceous
Cenomanian / Turonian
Akrabou Formation
Gara es Sbâa
Agoult
Morocco
Length 5cm / 2"
Murray & Wilson described two Thorectichthys species from Gara es Sbâa: T. marocensis with a very pronounced body depth and T. rhadinus (from “rhadinos” meaning slender, tapering or lithe) in reference to the body depth being much less than in T. marocensis.
These fish are quite often mistakenly offered as Satericthys sp or Triplomystus sp.
