Today for fish friday, I would love to show you more of one of my favorite families of jawless fish. The Furcacaudidae. Or: “The fish that look like your six year old nice drew them” Important elements of a fish are present ( aside from jaws ) yet they are all “off” from what we know about fish. Such as the lobes within the fins, the very high number of gillslits and the oddly planklinke shape. Important to point out is that the furcacaudidae whereso far the oldest fish discovered with an actual stomach cavity and guts instead of a simple tube. Canonia is pure speculation on my part, since we only ever found scales of this little oddball. A trend wich will continue during our journey.
