Tristichopteridae

Eusthenopteron (from 'stout', and 'wing' or 'fin') is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine lobe-finned fish known from several species that lived during the Late Devonian period, about 385 million years ago. It has attained an iconic status from its close relationship to tetrapods. Early depictions of animals of this genus show them emerging onto land, but paleontologists now think that Eusthenopteron species were strictly aquatic animals, though this is not completely known.

Hyneria is a genus of large prehistoric predatory lobe-finned fish which lived in fresh water during the Famennian stage of the Devonian period.

Tristichopterids (Tristichopteridae) were a diverse and successful group of fish-like tetrapodomorphs living throughout the Middle and Late Devonian. They first appeared in the Eifelian stage of the Middle Devonian. Within the group sizes ranged from a few tens of centimeters (Tristichopterus) to several meters (Hyneria and Eusthenodon).

thumb| Edenopteron is a genus of large tristichopterid fish from the Late Devonian (Famennian) of what is now southeastern Australia. It is known from a single specimen of a single species, E. keithcrooki, described in 2013.

Eusthenodon (Greek for "strong-tooth" – eusthenes- meaning "strong", -odon meaning "tooth") is an extinct genus of marine tristichopterid tetrapodomorphs from the Late Devonian period, ranging between 365 and 359 million years ago (Late Famennian). They are well known for being a cosmopolitan genus with remains being recovered from East Greenland, Australia, Central Russia, USA (Pennsylvania), and Belgium. Compared to the other closely related genera of the Tristichopteridae clade, Eusthenodon was one of the largest lobe-finned fishes (approximately 2.5 meters in length) and among the most der

Mandageria fairfaxi (Pronunciation: Man-daj-ee-ree-a fair-fax-i) is an extinct lobe-finned fish that lived during the Late Devonian period (Frasnian – Famennian). It is related to the much larger Hyneria; although Mandageria was smaller, likely hunted in a similar manner.

Tristichopterus is an extinct genus of Devonian eotetrapodiform fish in the family Tristichopteridae. The type species, T. elatus, was first described by Philip Grey Egerton in 1861 from remains of Givetian age found in Scotland. In 2013, a second species, Eusthenopteron kurshi was attributed to the genus based on remains from Latvia, originally assigned to Eusthenopteron, but this has not been universally recognised, With a maximum length of sixty centimetres, is the smallest genus in the family. Tristichopterus was thought by Egerton to be unique for its time period as a fish with ossified v

Cabonnichthys ("Burns' Cabonne fish") is an extinct genus of tristichopterid fish that lived in the Late Devonian period (Famennian) of Australia. It has been found in Canowindra and is a medium-sized carnivorous lobe-finned fish.
