Wenz, 1989

Iemanja is a genus of pycnodontiform fish from the Early Cretaceous, described from Romualdo Member (now Romualdo Formation) of Santana Group. This genus is known from only one species, I. palma. This fish is named after Yemọja, water spirit in Brazilian mythology.[1] With length up to 60 cm (24 in),[2] it is characterized by long snout that is probably used to feed from crevices of reef habitats.[3]
