Bramoides brieni
Scientific Classification
Class: Actinopterygii (Ray-finned Fish)
Order: Scombriformes
Family: Bramidae
Genus: Bramoides
Species: brieni (Casier 1966)
Bramoides is a very rare fish from the London Clay represented by only 2 confirmed specimens (and one slightly more dubious attribution). The Holotype for this specimen is just a well preserved neocranium but showcases the characteristic keel running down the central part of the top of the skull (similar to as you would see in modern Pomfret as well as Eothynnus sp. from the London Clay). The second, more dubious, example represented here is a more complete specimen which also showcases the distinctive keel running centrally but also shows robust teeth within both upper and lower jaws. There is some debate as to whether this second specimen is in fact a Bramoides.
- Robust, high keel running centrally down the top of the neocranium (1)
- Robust conical teeth with deep striations running from the base of the tooth to half way up (2)
- Sclerotic ossicle present in second specimen (3)
