This paper describes a slew of Middle Triassic fishes from Nevada USA, including a new species of Pteronisculus and two brand-new genera: the stem-chondrostean Ardoreosomus and the stem-neopterygian Candelarialepis--not to be confused with Candelarhynchus, described last year from Colombia (http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=6546.msg194183).

Ardoreosomus, larger scale bar = 50mm:


Candelarialepis, larger scale bar = 50mm:
