Description: A rarely seen member of the Order Aulopiformes, Family Dercetidae, it is a member of the bony fishes known as a “needle fish” due to its body shape. The upper and lower jaws have been extended into a rostrum; these fish were predators of smaller fish. At 65 mm in length, this is a juvenile example, one with preservation of fine detail. The genus went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous, passing the way of the dinosaurs.
