Actinopterygii

Cheirolepis canadensis, from Parc national de Miguasha.


Belongs within: Gnathostomata.
Contains: Elonichthyiformes, Amphicentridae, Scanilepiformes, Actinopteri.

The Actinopterygii contain the ray-finned fishes in which the external fin is mostly composed of a ray-supported membrane. However, some basal members of this group (such as the modern Polypteridae) retain lobate pectoral fins. Basal ray-finned fishes (including the living Polypteriformes, Acipenseriformes and Holostei) have a covering of bony ganoid scales, often diamond-shaped and non-overlapping. Many fossil examples of these heavily armoured fishes have previously been classified in the Palaeoniscimorpha, now recognised as paraphyletic to more derived actinopteygians. The basalmost actinopterygians include the Devonian Cheirolepiformes which retained an appearance similar to related basal fishes in the Sarcopterygii and Acanthodii. The Saurichthyidae were long-bodied, long-jawed predatory fishes known from the late Permian to the mid-Jurassic.

Synapomorphies (from Xu & Gao 2011): Extrascapular paired; single pair only of nasal bones; squamosal absent; dentary with enclosed mandibular canal; presupracleithrum present; caudal fin heterocercal, upper caudal fin rays short.
