Amazichthys had a profile similar to that of fast-moving pelagic fishes, with lateral keels for stability, and a lunate caudal fin, suggesting it could reach and maintain high speed.[1] The holotype, AA.MEM.DS.8, is 89.7 cm (35.3 in) long.[1][2]
Etymologyedit
Amazichthys trinajsticae was named after the North African ethnic group Amazigh (Berbers), and Australian palaeontologist Kate Trinajstic.[1]
