Eosaurichthys is an extinct saurichthyid ray-finned fish that lived during the late Permian epoch (Changhsingian age) in what is now China.[1] It closely resembles its daughter genus, Saurichthys, in both form and morphology.
Eosaurichthys is often treated as a subgenus of Saurichthys rather than a genus, with its type species referred to as Saurichthys (Eosaurichthys) chaoi. The Early Triassic species Saurichthys madagascariensis has been referred to this subgenus as Saurichthys (Eoaurichthys) madagascariensis.[2][3][4]
