Meemannia

Encyclopedia : M : ME : MEE : Meemannia

Meemannia is a genus of extinct sarcopterygian fishes from the early Devonian period. It was found in Yunnan, China. As preserved, it consists mainly of skull roofing bones and a partial otic region of the braincase. Its anatomy is unique in a number of features that resemble ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii), and more generalized jawed vertebrates.

It was described in the May 4, 2006 edition of Nature.
