Genus of fishes
Gardinerichthys is an extinct genus of freshwater actinopterygian bony fish from the Cisuralian (early Permian ) epoch of Germany (Rhineland-Palatine , Saarland ), and the middle Permian of India (Jammu and Kashmir ).[ 1] The type species , G. latus , was discovered in Asselian aged layers (Rotliegend ).[ 1]
The genus is named after British palaeontologist and zoologist Brian G. Gardiner (1932–2021), with the second part of the name meaning 'fish' in Greek : ἰχθῦς (ikhthûs ).
