Pachycormiformes is an extinct order of marine ray-finned fish. They lived in the early Jurassic period to the end of the Cretaceous. It only includes a single family, the Pachycormidae. They were characterized by having serrated pectoral fins (though more recent studies demonstrated that fin shape diversity in this group was high[2]), reduced pelvic fins and a bony rostrum.

Relationships

Pachycormiformes were probably members of the Teleosteomorpha. This was a group which includes all fish more closely related to modern teleosts than to Holostei. This is a group which includes the bowfin and gars.
