The American paddlefish (Polyodon spathula), also known as a Mississippi paddlefish, spoon-billed cat, or spoonbill, is a species of ray-finned fish. It is the last living species of paddlefish (Polyodontidae). This family is most closely related to the sturgeons; together they make up the order Acipenseriformes, which are one of the most ...
Paddlefish. Paddlefish (family Polyodontidae) are a family of ray-finned fish belonging to order Acipenseriformes, and one of two living groups of the order alongside sturgeons (Acipenseridae). [3][4] They are distinguished from other fish by their elongated rostra, which are thought to enhance electroreception to detect prey.
A. polyodon, A. heterodon, and A. wartheni span the Clarkforkian, Wasatchian, and Bridgerian North American Land Mammal Ages. [4] Several other genera and species were previously assigned to Allognathosuchus, giving it a potential Upper Cretaceous-Oligocene stratigraphic range, and a geographic range covering North America, Europe, and Africa ...

Pelecanimimus was a small ornithomimosaur, at about 1.9–2.5 m (6.2–8.2 ft) and 17–30 kg (37–66 lb). [2][3] Its skull was unusually long and narrow, with a maximum length of about 4.5 times its maximum height. It was highly unusual among ornithomimosaurs in its large number of teeth: it had about 220 very small teeth in total, with seven ...

Acipenseriformes / æsɪˈpɛnsərɪfɔːrmiːz / is an order of basal [1] ray-finned fishes that includes living and fossil sturgeons and paddlefishes (Acipenseroidei), as well as the extinct families Chondrosteidae and Peipiaosteidae. [2][3][4] They are the second earliest diverging group of living ray-finned fish after the bichirs.
Synodontis polyodon is a species of upside-down catfish native to Gabon where it occurs in the Ogowe River basin.
