Gardinerichthys is an extinct genus of freshwater actinopterygian bony fish from the Cisuralian (early Permian) epoch of Germany (Rhineland-Palatine, Saarland), and the middle Permian of India (Jammu and Kashmir). [2] The type species, G. latus, was discovered in Asselian aged layers (Rotliegend). [2]

Contents

The genus is named after British palaeontologist and zoologist Brian G. Gardiner (1932–2021), the second part of the name means 'fish' in Greek : ἰχθῦς (ikhthûs).

Gardinerpiscis is an extinct genus of prehistoric actinopterygian fish that lived during the Kungurian age of the early Permian epoch in what is now Kazakhstan. It was originally named "Gardineria" by Kazantseva-Selezneva (1981). Because this genus name was already given to an extant scleractinian coral, the new name Gardinerpiscis was erected for the Permian fish. The genus includes a single species (monotypy): Gardinerpiscis akkolkensis.
