Oreochima

Extinct genus of ray-finned fishes

Oreochima is an archaeomaenid ray-finned fish from Lower Jurassic-aged freshwater strata of Queen Alexandra Range, Antarctica. Fossils come from the Lower Jurassic Mawson Formation (Toarcian) of Storm Peak, Antarctica, where a freshwater lake system, called "Lake Carapace", once existed. O. ellioti is also notable for being one of few archaeomaenid genera found outside of Australia, as well for be one of the oldest members of the family.
