Congorhynchus Greek for "Congo snout") is an enigmatic, likely polyphyletic genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that was described by E. Darteville and E. Casier in 1949.[1]
It is only known from isolated spines that were previously interpreted as the fossilized rostra of an early billfish (possibly a blochiid ).[2] scombroids " in general. The extreme range of variation between different "species" in the genus also makes it unlikely that all species assigned to this genus are actually members of it.[3]
It contains two to three species, although given the likely polyphyly of this genus, C. trabeculatus may be the only true member:
The species †C. kinnei Marsh , 1870Manasquan Formation of New Jersey is alternatively placed in this genus or in Embalorhynchus Marsh, 1870 .[2]
Fossils belonging to Congorhynchus date back to the Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous . If the Eocene species (C. elliotti and C. kinnei ) are members of this genus, or if the Paleocene fossils from Niger belong to this genus, then Congorhynchus would have survived the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that killed the dinosaurs .[2]
