Depicted Animal

Dapedium stollorum  THIES & HAUFF, 2011
0.4 M    182 MYA   

Systematics: Dapediidae, «Semionotiformes», «Holostei», Neopterygii, Actinopterygii, Osteichthyes
Habitat: marine, coastal waters; demersal

The genus Dapedium encompasses laterally compressed, high-backed fishes with deeply fusiform to nearly circular bodies. The species Dapedium stollorum was described from the Lower Toarcian Posidonia Shale (Upper Liassic, Early Jurassic) of the Holzmaden area, southern Germany. The styliform, unicuspid teeth of Dapedium stollorum may indicate that this taxon fed on carrion as well as captured live prey like mollusks or other invertebrates.
