Albuliformes are order of fish known more commonly as Bonefishes. The group’s origins date back to the Late Jurassic and share common ancestry with Tarpons and Ladyfishes. Although they were a historically diverse group of fish, there are only 11 extant species of this group still in existence. 

Albuliformes are characterised by their elongated, downturned snouts with a relatively small mouth opening. Bonefishes also feed using crushing teeth arranged in palates on both the roof and floor of the mouths. All these features help Bonefish search out small crustaceans, worms and molluscs on the bottom of the sea bed. 

Albuliformes are represented in the London Clay by 3 named genus: Albula, Egertonia & Phyllodus.
