About: Rhinodipterus

An Entity of Type: animal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Rhinodipterus is an extinct genus of prehistoric dipnoan sarcopterygians or lobe-finned fish, that lived in the Devonian Period, between 416 and 359 million years ago. It is believed to have inhabited shallow, salt-water reefs, and is one of the earliest known examples of marine lungfish. Research based on an exceptionally well-preserved specimen from the Gogo Formation of Australia has shown that Rhinodipterus has cranial ribs attached to its braincase and was probably adapted for air-breathing to some degree as living lungfish are. This could be the only case known for a marine lungfish with air-breathing adaptations.

  • Rhinodipterus — викопний рід дводишних риб, що існував у девонському періоді між 416 та 359 млн років тому. Викопні рештки знайдені в Австралії та Росії. Вважається, що він мешкав на мілких, солоноводних рифах. Одна з найдавніших відомих морських хребетних тварин з легенями. Це також єдина відома морська риба, що була пристосована до дихання атмосферним повітрям. (uk)
