中华金龙鱼
5600万年前的古代龙鱼
中华金龙鱼是发现于中国早始新世地
层的骨舌鱼类化石，属于骨舌鱼目骨舌
鱼科。产自湖南湘乡和湖北松滋的化石
保存精美，为研究金龙鱼类的演化历史
提供了重要证据。研究表明，硬骨舌鱼
属与南美骨舌鱼属的分化时间可追溯
至约5600万年前。这一发现不仅将现
生硬骨舌鱼属的演化历史延伸至新生
代早期，也为理解骨舌鱼类跨越不同大
陆的分布格局及其生物地理历史提供
了重要线索。
Scleropages sinensis
An Ancient Arowana from 56 Million Years Ago
Scleropages sinensis is a fossil bony-tongue fish 
discovered from the Early Eocene deposits of China and 
belongs to the family Osteoglossidae within the order 
Osteoglossiformes. The exceptionally preserved fossils 
from Xiangxiang, Hunan Province, and Songzi, Hubei 
Province, provide important evidence for understanding 
the evolutionary history of arowanas. Research 
indicates that the divergence between the genus 
Scleropages and the South American osteoglossid 
genus Osteoglossum can be traced back to 
approximately 56 million years ago. This discovery 
extends the evolutionary history of living arowanas into 
the Early Cenozoic and provides important clues for 
understanding the intercontinental distribution patterns 
and biogeographic history of bony-tongue fishes.
