Anaethalion knorri Fish Fossil


This fossil was displayed on August 2022, at the Harvard Museum of Natural History in Cambridge,Massachusetts, USA. This fish fossil is called Anaethalion knorri (Blainville, 1818).  Fish lived during the Jurassic Period (Kimmeridgian Stage). Fossil was found Solnhofen Limestone Formation of Bavaria, Germany. Catalog number is MCZ5333.

This display was odd in the MCZBASE database lists its name as Aethalion knorri but the name on the wall in the museum lists it as Analthanion knorr.
