What is "barameda"

Barameda ( Ancient Greek, "Heavy Guardian") is a genus of rhizodont lobe-finned fish which lived during the Carboniferous period in Australia. While many Paleozoic sarcopterygan fishes are identified by their fleshy lobe fins, fused skull cases and basal qualities, the primary identifier of most Barameda fossils comes from their large rooted fangs, usually in length, and where the order Rhizodontida and family Rhizodontidae gain their name. The largest member of this genus, Barameda decipiens, reached an estimated length of over , rivaling another large rhizodont in size, Rhizodus. Barameda were obligate carnivores, relying on the meat of Carboniferous ammonites, orthocones, freshwater invertebrates, early fish and early tetrapods to sustain its massive length.
