Description

Gonatodus brainerdi (Thomas, 1853) fossil fish from the Mississippian of Ohio, USA (public display, FMNH P 25164, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois, USA).

This Gonatodus brainerdi fossil fish is in quartzose sandstone from the Berea Sandstone (~lowermost Mississippian) at a quarry in Chagrin Falls, Cuyahoga County, northeastern Ohio, USA.
