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

Scanilepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Rhaetian-Hettangian stages (Late Triassic-Lower Jurassic boundary), coming from the freshwater deposits of the Bjuv and Helsingborg members of the Höganäs Formation, southwestern Sweden. A second species, S. spitzbergensis was described from the Hettangian of the of the area in Spitsbergen, Norway. This fish was originally identified as a member of the genus Gyrolepis, as Gyrolepis dubius, being latter assigned to it´s own genus and classified as a member of Palaeonisciformes. Latter works placed it as a taxon close to the origin of the family Amiidae, until was found latter to belong to it´s own family and order, . Regarding to the microstructure of its scales, Scanilepis approaches the condition of Polypte

  • Scanilepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Rhaetian-Hettangian stages (Late Triassic-Lower Jurassic boundary), coming from the freshwater deposits of the Bjuv and Helsingborg members of the Höganäs Formation, southwestern Sweden. A second species, S. spitzbergensis was described from the Hettangian of the of the area in Spitsbergen, Norway. This fish was originally identified as a member of the genus Gyrolepis, as Gyrolepis dubius, being latter assigned to it´s own genus and classified as a member of Palaeonisciformes. Latter works placed it as a taxon close to the origin of the family Amiidae, until was found latter to belong to it´s own family and order, . Regarding to the microstructure of its scales, Scanilepis approaches the condition of Polypterus or Erpetoichthys more than any other genera. (en)
