—Tetrapodomorph fish with greatly enlarged spiracular openings, comprising over 20% of the total length of the skull-roof, bordered by the tabular, extratemporal, and squamosal. Parietal and postparietals of roughly equal length. Elongate intertemporal that widens anteriorly. Posterior nasals narrower than the anterior and posterior supraorbitals. Median extrascapular tapers anteriorly into a V-shaped recess formed by the large rounded lateral extrascapulars. Elongate lanceolate parasphenoid with denticles larger on the anterior part of the bone. Scales display ridged ornamentation and lack cosmine. Anterior squamation cycloid, abruptly shifting to a rhombic shape on the rear flank.

The most conspicuous character is the greatly enlarged spiracular opening, accounting for between 2530% of the total length of the skull roof. The opening is bordered posteromesially by the tabular and extratemporal, anterolaterally by the squamosal (and preopercular if present). The bony slit appears to have been open-ended posteriorly.

The anterior tip is not clearly visible, but the lateral contours and posterior embayment formed by the vomers indicate that it gently tapers towards the front. The denticles are distinctly larger on the anterior half of the bone, with a slightly raised single row of denticles along the posterolateral margins surrounding a central depression that housed the buccohypophyseal foramen.

In the absence of an unambiguous counterpart on the left side and without supporting evidence from additional specimens, this is currently interpreted as a fractured section of the entopterygoid. Denticles are larger in the anterior parts of the entopterygoids, particularly along the lateral margins, becoming progressively finer and more scattered towards the posterior, with the rear quarter of the bone being almost devoid of ornamentation. The dermopalatines and ectopterygoids are preserved, but the suture between them is difficult to discern. Each bone bears a single stout, conical fang, mesial to a row of fine denticles.

A roughened semicircular surface immediately posterior of the parasphenoid likely represents the rim of the notochordal chamber.</paragraph>

). NMV P253964 has a straight occlusal margin and a gently convex ventral surface. It tapers only very gently from back to front, so the anterior jaw tip is only marginally narrower than the rear. The occlusal margin has small conical teeth, arranged in at least two rows, from the anterior tip to over the anterior-third of the adductor fossa. A single large, recurved symphysial tusk is present at the anterior of the dentary, 45 times the size of the marginal teeth.

A highly fragmentary parasymphysial plate is preserved immediately anterior to the prearticular. Three coronoids appear to be present, but it is difficult to discern the sutures between them and the third in the series is poorly preserved.

). The fin is paddle-shaped with a rounded tip, with over 19 unsegmented proximal lepidotrichia that transition into finer rays towards the distal tip. The base of the fin is poorly preserved and the disposition of the fleshy lobe and basal scute is unclear. The fin is narrower than the pectoral fin, with over 12 elongate proximal lepidotrichia which progressively divide into over 25 fine distal fin rays. Fragmentary scales, smaller than the adjacent trunk scales, cover the proximal fin rays, suggesting the presence of a fleshy basal lobe, although its size and shape are indeterminate.

The anal fin is positioned posterior to the second dorsal fin, at the transition zone from the cycloid scales of the mid-body to the rhombic scales on the posterior. It has a rounded tip; the distal end of the dorsal fin is damaged.
