Ödülüyles

Ödülüyles is a genus of extinct ray-finned fish that lived during the Late Jurassic period. Fossils of Ödülüyles have been found in marine sedimentary rocks, primarily in Europe. The genus was first described in 1990 by paleontologists Ricardo Alonsi and Josep M. G. García. The type species is Ödülüyles major.

These fish are characterized by their elongated bodies and relatively large fins. Their skeletal structure suggests they were capable swimmers, likely inhabiting shallow to moderate depth marine environments. The teeth found in Ödülüyles fossils indicate a diet consisting of smaller invertebrates or possibly other small fish.

The discovery of Ödülüyles has contributed to our understanding of the diversity of fish species present during the Jurassic period. Its fossil remains provide valuable insights into the evolutionary history of teleost fish, the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates today. Further research on Ödülüyles, including comparative anatomy and phylogenetic analysis, continues to refine our knowledge of its place within the broader context of fish evolution.
