Fig. 7

Photographs of two latimeriid coelacanths from the Upper Jurassic of Germany showing the body outline and caudal fin with a prominent supplementary caudal lobe. A Specimen of Libys sp. (no collection number) exposed in the permanent exhibition of the Bürgermeister-Müller-Museum, Solnhofen, Germany. It is worth noting that this specimen is labeled as Holophagus, but the morphological characteristics (e.g., a sensory canal opening through a large groove crossed by pillars) and the meristic clearly indicate that this specimen belongs to the genus Libys. B Undina penicillata (BSM 1870 XIV 22)
