Although it was a lobe-finned fish Strunius' fins were supported by fin rays, which are more associated with ray-finned fish. However, its skull was composed of two articulating halves, a feature characteristic of the lobe-finned rhipidistians. The skull was also divided by a deep articulation, with both halves probably connected by a large muscle, increasing the power of the bite.[1] The same system is seen in coelacanths and the better-known Eusthenopteron. Compared to other lobe-finned fishes, Strunius had a rather short, stubby body, and was just {{convert|10|cm|in|sigfig=1}} long. It was covered in large, round, bony scales, and probably fed on other fishes.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite book |editor=Palmer, D.|year=1999 |title= The Marshall Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Animals|publisher= Marshall Editions|location=London|page= 42|isbn= 1-84028-152-9}} {{Portal|Paleontology}}{{Onychodontidae}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q3699097}}{{paleo-lobefinned-fish-stub}} 6 : Onychodontida|Prehistoric lobe-finned fish genera|Late Devonian animals|Late Devonian fish|Devonian bony fish|Devonian fish of Europe |
