Cyranorhis is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish that lived during the Serpukhovian age of the Carboniferous period. One species is known, C. bergeraci in the Bear Gulch Limestone what is now Montana, United States. [1] [2] It is named after French novelist Cyrano de Bergerac. [3]

Classification

It is a member of the Rhadinichthyidae, a family of basal ray-finned fish that was formerly placed in the now-paraphyletic order Palaeonisciformes. [4] Based on the cladistic analysis by Ren & Xu, Cyranorhis was recovered in a sister group relationship with the Triassic Pteronisculus which may thus represent a late-surviving rhadinichthyid. [5]
