Beerichthys ingens is a very unusual fish from the London Clay which up until recently was only known from a small number of partially preserved skulls. Earlier in 2025 however this changed with the discovery of a new specimen showing near perfect articulation of both the skull as well as post-cranial anatomy. The discovery of this specimen was an excellent team effort having first been spotted on the beach by Dan Hogburn, subsequently collected by Oliver Wyer, prepped by myself (Tom Sermon) and then identified by Prof Matt Friedman. This latest specimen reinforces the thesis that Beerichthys was an early member of the Acanthuriformes and represents an early ancestor to modern Luvar fish (Luvarus imperialis) which is only represented by one living species. This specimen would benefit from some further research given it’s excellent preservation.
