Erismatopterus

Extinct genus of fishes

Erismatopterus is an extinct genus of percopsiform fish which lived during the early to middle Eocene epoch and containing the single species Erismatopterus levatus. A report of the genus in sediments of similar age in Washington State have been discredited. Erismatopterus is treated as part of the family Percopsidae, but formerly was the type genus of the extinct family Erismatopteridae. The genus is closely related to Amphiplaga of related lake sediments. Shoaling behavior has been reported from a mass mortality fossil of E. levatus and attributed as a predator-evasion response behavior.
