摘要
Two polypterid postcranial skeletons are described from the continental Cenomanian of southeastern Morocco. These specimens represent the only articulated fossil polypterid fossils known to date. The postcranial skeletons are less than 5 cm long and belong to a new genus and species, Serenoichthys kemkenensis, gen. et sp. nov., which is diagnosed by a short and deep body with 30 scales along the mid-lateral line and 10 scale rows below the third finlet, 9-10 predorsal scales and 24 caudal fin rays.
