Rhombichthys intoccabilis (Khalloufi, Zaragüeta-Bagils and Le, Cenomian, Late Cretaceous; 25cm) was described as a clupeomorph (= anchovies and kin) with a deep, scute-covered belly, but here nests with the extant tarpon and, more distantly, the extant piranha (above). Juveniles are also known and they lack deep scutes and high dorsal fins. |
