Extinct genus of fishes
Chardonius ray-finned fish from the late Aptian or early Albian . It contains a single species, C. longicaudatus Loia Beds of the Democratic Republic of the Congo .[ 1] [ 2]
Its taxonomic placement is uncertain, and it has been alternatively classified as a "clupeoid " or a "salmoniform ".[ 2] [ 3] wastebasket treatment.[ 4] euteleost .[ 5]
Morphologically, it is notable for the extreme anterior insertion point of its dorsal fin compared to the anal fin .[ 5] [ 6]
