Libys

Libys is a genus of coelacanth fish in the family of Latimeriidae. Species of Libys lived during the Lower-Upper Jurassic period (Toarcian - Tithonian, about 183 to 145 million years ago).

==Description== Libys had an exceptionally squat body, especially when compared to other coelacanths of the same period as Undina and Holophagus. Libys could reach 60 centimeters in length and was therefore a medium-sized coelacanth, with a short and high skull. The pectoral fins were quite long, while the tail was remarkably short and high.
