The stromateiform fish Parapropercarina multispinata gen. et sp. nov. from the Eocene Fur Formation of Denmark
Original language description
A new stromateiform fish from the earliest Eocene Fur Formation, northwestern Denmark, is described as Parapropercarina multispinata gen. et sp. nov. by using non-destructive µXRF-element mapping and standard comparative osteology. The new genus and species is diagnosed by a distinctive combination of characters: a moderately elongate, laterally compressed body, six branchiostegal rays, a single deeply notched dorsal fin with 15 spines and 18 rays, three supraneurals, anal fin with two or three spines and 24 soft rays, pectoral fin with 18 rays extending posteriorly approximately at the level of the 10th abdominal vertebra, pelvic fin containing one spine and five rays, 36 (15+21) vertebrae, well-developed parapophyses on posterior abdominal vertebrae, caudal skeleton comprising fused hypurals 1+2, partially fused hypurals 3+4, autogenous hypural 5, autogenous parhypural lacking parhypurapophysis, two uroneurals, and three epurals, oral jaw dentition uniserially arranged, body densely covered with thin, cycloid scales. Parapropercarina multispinata gen. et sp. nov. thus shows a mosaic of features, that clearly aligns it within the Stromateiformes (Stromateoidei). This new fossil extends the occurrence of a body plan similar to that of propercarinids back to the early Eocene of the eastern North Sea Basin.
