Ligulalepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish.[1]Ligulalepis was first described from isolated scales found in the Taemas-Wee jasper limestones of New South Wales (Early Devonian age) by Dr Hans-Peter Schultze (1968[2]) and further material described by Burrow (1994).[3] A nearly complete skull found in the same general location was described in Nature by Basden et al. (2000) claiming the genus was closely related to basal ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii).[4] In 2015 Flinders University student Benedict King found a more complete new skull of this genus which was formally described by Clement et al. (2018), showing the fish to be on the stem of all osteichthyans.[5]
