Eocitharinus macrognathus
Eocitharinus macrognathus
Eocitharinus macrognathus was a freshwater fish of ancient river systems and floodplain waters. It likely foraged through the water column and near the bottom for small animals and edible organic material. Adults used their enlarged jaws to seize prey or nip at food items. Fossils indicate that it belonged to an early lineage of characiform fishes.
