LEEDSICHTHYS PROBLEMATICUS
Leedsichthys problematicus is an extinct genus of Pachycormid fish that lived in the oceans of the Middle to Late Jurassic It is the largest Ray-finned Fish, and amongst the largest fish known to have ever existed. The first of its specimen were found and identified around Nineteenth Centuries by British Collector Alfred Nicholson Leeds, hence his name used for the genus of this extraordinary fish in 1889 AD.
In the latest reconstruction from Specimen BMNH P.10156, the size reaching up to 12 meters long, makes the size smaller than the previous reconstruction. But still, Leedsichthys are consider as the biggest prehistoric fish ever to unearthed.
