Anatomy and appearanceThe holotype is four centimeters in length. It has a deep, oblong-shaped body, a deep, but short head, a long tail composed of 27 caudal vertebrae, a long, crest-like dorsal fin, a long, banner-like anal fin with 29 to 30 rays running from the posterior region of the body down the entire length of the tail, and two enormous, wing-like pelvic fins.[1] The holotype (and only known specimen) was originally described as the remains of a larval ("youthful") form due to its small size and due to its strong similarity to the larval form of trachypterid ribbonfish.[1] Taxonomic StatusB. elegans' taxonomic has been debated. Since it appeared to combine features of both taeniosomid lamprids (i.e., its larval form resembles those of oarfish and ribbonfish), and of bathysomid lamprids (the anatomy of the pelvis is extremely similar to that of sailfins[1]), it was attributed to an incertae sedis position within Lampriformes. Further research placed it within Zeiformes, another group of acanthomorph teleosts.[2]References1. ^1 2 3 Sorbini, L., Bottura, C., "Bajaichthys elegans, AN EOCENE LAMPRIDIFORM FROM BOLCA (ITALY)" Museo Civico di Storia Naturale, Verona 1987 2. ^{{Cite journal|author1=Donald Davesne |author2=Giorgio Carnevale |author3=Matt Friedman |year=2017 |title=Bajaichthys elegans from the Eocene of Bolca (Italy) and the overlooked morphological diversity of Zeiformes (Teleostei, Acanthomorpha) |journal=Palaeontology |volume=60 |issue=2 |pages=255–268 |doi=10.1111/pala.12280 }} External links
