Guntherichthys is a genus of extinct marine ray-finned fish that lived during the mid-late Carboniferous (early Pennsylvanian) in what is now Utah, United States. Fossils were recovered from the Manning Canyon Shale. The genus is named after Lloyd Gunther.[1][2] As with other early ray-finned fish, it displays typical "palaeoniscoid" morphology, although this is not taxonomically informative to its placement.[1]
