Abstract
A well-preserved, nearly complete skeleton of the holostean fish Pycnodus lametae, is described from the freshwater Upper Cretaceous Lameta Formation of Bhatali in Chandrapur district of Maharashtra. Earlier, the genus was known only by its partly-preserved crushed skull. However, isolated crushing teeth are widely known from the Lameta and Interttappean sediments of Peninsular India. Other associated fishes include Holostei: Lepidotes deccanensis, Lepisosteus indicus; Teleostei: Clupeidae, Osteoglossidae, Enchodus, Eoserranus: and myliobatoids including Dasyatis and Igdabatis.
