Draft:Angatubichthys

Angatubichthys is an extinct genus of early ray-finned fish that lived during the late Permian in what is now the surroundings of Angatuba, São Paulo, Brazil. The type and only species, Angatubichthys mendesi, is known from a flattened whole body (the holotype) plus three additional specimens showing details of skull and body morphology. These specimens were recovered in the upper strata of the Corumbataí Formation, Paraná Basin, Brazil, which is considered to be middle to late Permian in age.

Classification
Angatubichthys has unknown affinities within the ray-finned fishes although some osteological features of the known specimens indicate a more derived position in the ray-finned fish tree than other late Paleozoic taxa.
