Bachmannia chubutensis

Extinct species of fish

Bachmannia is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish from the order of the catfishes (Siluriformes), containing a single species, B. chubutensis. Fossils of the species, dated to the early Eocene, were found in the Laguna del Hunco site, a caldera in the Argentinean province of Chubut, which is filled with fine-grained, layered mudstones and sandstones interspersed with pyroclastic deposits. The genus was named by Mathilde Dolgopol de Sáez, in honor of the German physician and naturalist Franz Ewald Theodor Bachmann.
