Cuneatus
Extinct genus of fish / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cuneatus is an extinct genus of gar that inhabited western North America during the early Paleogene. As the genus name suggests, they are distinguishable from modern gar by their cuneate (wedge-shaped) heads, with a significantly shortened snout.[1] Three species are known: C. cuneatus, C. maximus, and C. wileyi.
