Garnbergia is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine coelacanth that lived during the Triassic period.[1] It was discovered by Martin and Wenz in 1984. It comprises a single species, Garnbergia ommata, known from the Anisian stage of the Middle Triassic-aged Muschelkalk of Germany.[2] In addition, an isolated scale, tentatively assigned to G. ommata, is known from the middle Norian-aged Pardonet Formation of British Columbia, Canada.[3]
