Kawichthys

Kawichthys is an extinct genus of symmoriiform cartilaginous fish from Upper Pennsylvanian (Late Virgilian stage) deposits of Kansas, USA. Kawichthys is known from two well preserved three-dimensional neurocrania: the holotype KUVP 152144 is associated with some disturbed and broken postcranial elements, but the braincase is partially crushed, and the paratype KUVP 56340. It was collected from the Douglas Group, between the Haskell Limestone Member and the overlying Robbins Shale of the Stranger Formation. It was first named by Alan Pradel, Paul Tafforeau, John G. Maisey and Philippe Janvier in 2011 and the type species is Kawichthys moodiei.
