Jianghanichthys

"Jianghanichthys" (Jianghan referring to the place where it's found, and ichthys the Greek word for 'fish'), was a fish that lived in the Pliocene epoch (5.332 Ma to 1.806 Ma). Fossils of Jianghanichthys have been found in Hubei, China. It is also known as Osteohilus or Chan Han Fish.

There are still disagreements as to the name and age of this species. Its scientific classification is yet to be decided as well.
