Abstract
The remains of two fossil fishes from the Lower Aptian of the Bentheim area, north-western Germany, are described. A fragment of a large pectoral fin is identified as Pachycormidae indet. It is the first report of a Lower Cretaceous pachycormid in Europe and extends the geographic range of pachycormids to Germany. A trunk of a small teleost fish is identified as Clupeomorpha indet. This extends the range of Lower Cretaceous clupeomorphs to north-western Germany. -Authors
