Species: TBC
This is an unusual Scombridae fish (representing Mackerels & Tunas) which was found by Dan Hogburn in 2024. It is very narrow in width and has a very pointed/streamlined anterior of the skull, similar to modern mackerel. The morphology of the top of the skull shares some similarities with Wetherellus but the skull is much more narrow than the 3 species of Wetherellus already described.
