Lycoptera is a genus of fish that lived from the late Jurassic to Cretaceous periods in present-day China , Korea , Mongolia and Siberia . It is known from abundant fossils representing sixteen species, which serve as important index fossil used to date geologic formations in China. Along with the genus Peipiaosteus , Lycoptera has been considered a defining member of the Jehol Biota , a prehistoric ecosystem famous for its early birds and feathered dinosaurs , which flourished for 20 million years during the Early Cretaceous .

Description [ edit ]
Lycoptera species were small freshwater fish. Most species fed on plankton , and had numerous tiny teeth. A few species likeL. gansuensis , L. muroii , and L. sinensis had larger teeth and probably fed on small insects and their larvae.[2]
Many specimens preserve minute details and impressions of soft tissues. Lycoptera was covered in tiny oval scales about 1.2 millimeters across, and, in life, would had a superficial resemblance to the Common minnow .[3]
Lycoptera fossils are commonly found in large groups, buried together quickly in fine lake sediments. This probably indicates that they were gregarious in life, congregating in shoals .[2]
